Overall Data Governance Principles In line with global good practice, the Sitakhela Likusasa data governance, processing, publication, and release policies and procedures are based on the following guiding principles:  Public health and scientific advancement are best served by an open and timely exchange of data and data analyses  Sitakhela Likusasa data are owned by NERCHA and the World Bank, and a full set of all data will be provided to the Central Statistics Office for ownership and management after the study has ended  The privacy of participants must be protected in line with their informed consent to be part of the study  High quality data must be maintained To ensure that Sitakhela Likusasa data are managed according to these principles, a data policy and data use committee will be nominated to oversee the process. 2. Data Access and Dissemination policy I. Data Administration: The data obtained by the Sitakhela Likusasa shall be administered by the DUC appointed members from the World Bank Group and NERCHA, referred to as data stewards. II. Data Stewards: Data stewards are responsible for the safekeeping of the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data. Each data steward is responsible, within the bounds of the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data policy, for operational policies and procedures governing inquiry and download access, dissemination, use, maintenance, and protection of the data in a designated data area. The data steward is responsible for the definition and classification of data in that areas as well as verifying its authenticity as needed. III. Purpose: Data and ready access to that data in its many forms are vital to the successful operation of the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation investigators and their respective organizations. Those wishing to obtain data access will do so through online or written inquiry (Appendix A). The DUC is obligated to read and respond to data requests within a reasonable time period to approve. In turn, those grated access are obliged to appropriately use and effectively protect Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data which also includes investigators and advisory members’ part of the study team. IV. Data Access Policy Statement: Data shall be accessible for inquiry and/or download by authorized individuals in support of the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation. V. Data Access Authorization: Access to the study data for inquiry and/or download purposes (through centrally supported application software) will be authorized on the basis of data inquiry access categories and the individual’s roles/duties. Page 2 Data stewards will classify the data for which they are responsible according to the following inquiry access categories. a) Public Data – Data that are of the interest to the general public and for which there is no need for reasons to limit access. Public data may be made available to the general public in printed or electronic format. Anyone in the general public may view these data using such public sources. However, the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation and its governing partners does not provide these data in other than the published form (s) without the consent of the appropriate data steward. Additionally, third-parties must submit a written inquiry for the intended use of data (Appendix A) and agree to the data use agreement (Appendix B or C) before access is granted. Data associated with the evaluation can only be made public after the study has ended. Examples of public data might include: household characteristics, sexual behavior and fertility, marriage and unions life style and risk behaviors, etc. b) Non-Public Data – All data held by the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation for which are not appropriate or available for general public use. Non-public data shall be made available to authorized study partners for inquiry/downloaded only in support of the performance of their assigned roles/duties. Non-public data may be released to individuals or groups outside of the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation and its overseeing bodies only with approval from the DUC. Examples of non-public data might include: household rosters not including surname and name and data the study team intends to analyze, but has not yet done so. c) Confidential Data – Data which access is restricted for legal reason. Distribution of confidential data shall not be made without the written approval of all stewards of the DUC, all principle investigators of the study, and after consultation with the Ethics Review Boards to which the study has received ethics clearances. Examples of confidential data might include: study participant names, phone numbers, HIV status, addresses or any other information used to identify a study participant. All data that was collected during the study and for which participants did not give informed consent to release, will be considered as confidential data. VI. Dissemination of Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation results: Sitakhela Likusasa impact evaluation results will be disseminated at baseline, midline and end line stage. Dissemination will first take place in Eswatini at national and decentralized (regional) levels amongst Swazi stakeholders, before dissemination at international for or for academic publication purposes. The results will also be incorporated into fact sheets, a country-specific report, peer-reviewed journal articles and multi-country comparative analyses. A Dissemination Plan will be developed by the evaluation’s Technical Oversight Committee. Page 3 3. Data Use Policy I. Purpose – Authorization to access to Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data carries with it the responsibility to use the data as intended and not for personal gain or other inappropriate purposes. This data use policy is intended to ensure that data are used appropriately. II. Data Use Responsibility – Each individual with access to the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data has the responsibility to use those data and any information derived from them appropriately. Individuals will be held responsible for any data use made under their user IDs and passwords. Data must not be used to promote or condone discrimination on the basis of race/ethnicity, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, the presence of any sensory, mental, or physical disability, or other characteristics. The data must not be used to promote or condone any type of harassment, copyright infringement, political activity, personal business interests, or any activity that is unlawful. Willful misuse of any data, violation of state ethics laws and rules with regard to Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data, or other breaches of this policy, can result in termination of access privileges. III. Release of Data to Third Parties – DUC members are to approve the release of Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation public and non-public data under his or her jurisdiction if the release is in conformance with the terms of policy. This release will occur after the review and approval of the inquiry of data use (Appendix A). A release document will be extended to the third party (Appendix B or C). This written release document is an agreement between the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation and its sponsors and the third party. 4. Data Security Policy I. Purpose - Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data must be effectively protected from unauthorized acquisition or disclosure as well as accidental or intentional modification, destruction, or loss. This must be done to ensure data confidentiality, integrity and to prevent unnecessary litigation or penalty against study partners or employees. Data and information can be maintained and represented in various formats including electronic storage, screen display, printed copy, etc. Each member of the DUC, and any study contractors, are obligated to protect data under his/her control. A Study Operating Procedure on Data Management will be developed by the study contractor to govern data security during the implementation of the study. II. Data Security Policy Statement - Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data shall be safeguarded to ensure its confidentiality, integrity, reliability and availability. Page 4 III. Data Security – All confidential data connected with an individual’s name shall be stored securely on physically secured storage devices or media and displayed in an encrypted or otherwise obscured manner. Confidential data will be disclosed in full only to specifically authorized individuals. Non-public data shall be stored or transported on portable devices/media only as required to conduct analysis pertinent to the study. Where necessary to store or transport such data on a portable device, they should be protected from disclosure in the event of device/media loss using commercially reasonable practices such as device locks or data encryption. Non-public data must be protected during network transmission according to commercially reasonable practices such as secure transport mechanisms and data encryption. VII. Data Retention and Disposition – A current copy of the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation data must be preserved to ensure the restorability of data lost to disaster or destruction. However, other than the official source copy and appropriate backup copies of data shall be held in other locations only as necessary and only for as long as necessary for the study. Non-public and confidential data recorded in any media must be disposed of in a manner that will render the data uncoverable. Care must be taken to ensure that information is not recoverable using readily available forensic tools when a computer and/or its storage media are scheduled for surplus sales or other re-use either within or outside of the study team. 5. Purpose and Functions of the Data Use Committee (DUC) Data are valuable resources and must be carefully managed. The Sitakhela Likusasa Data Use Committee (DUC) is intended to ensure that all data collected by the study are managed as study assets for fulfilling the mission of instruction, research, and public service the Sitakhela Likusasa Impact Evaluation was meant to serve. The DUC is made up of data stewards whose intended purpose is to oversee the development of a data policy that will include data access, data use, and data security and to make sure the data policy is effectively implemented. Appendix D contains the detailed TOR of the DUC.
