Oxford has launched the \u2018Oxford Supertracker\u2019 < https:\/\/supertracker.spi.ox.ac.uk > \u2013 a global directory for COVID-19 policy trackers and surveys \u2013 to enable policy-makers and stakeholders to follow and evaluate policy changes and their impact on the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, Europe and around the world.
\nMarek Naczyk, Oxford Associate Professor in Comparative Social Policy and project lead, said: \u201cAs social scientists and concerned citizens, we felt compelled to work on this tool to ensure policy-makers and the public can access information on policy measures in the wake of COVID-19. We have been encouraged by the interest to date from many international organisations, including OECD and the World Bank, highlighting how the Department of Social Policy\u2019s interdisciplinary background is well placed for the continued development of the tool. Our ambition is for the Oxford \u2018Supertracker\u2019 to be the go-to portal sharing all known policy-related data sources in one place.\u201d
\nNumerous organisations have produced trackers to allow policy-makers and stakeholders to follow and evaluate policy changes and their impact on the pandemic. The Oxford Supertracker project makes this information freely available with one tool, allowing users to search and identify international policy.
\nSebastian K\u00f6nigs and Andrea Garnero, Economists at The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said: \u201cThe team behind the Oxford Supertracker have done an impressive job in assembling the rapidly growing data on countries\u2019 COVID responses and in making them readily available and easily searchable. This is an enormous service to the research and policy community, including many here at the OECD.\u201d
\nUgo Gentilini, Global Lead for Social Assistance at the World Bank, commented on the Supertracker, saying: \u201cThe Oxford Supertracker offers a precious compass to help policy-makers, practitioners and researchers to navigate the rich and evolving set of trackers available globally.\u201d
\nThe COVID-19 policy tracker started in March as a Twitter thread by Oxford DPhil student Lukas Lehner. But it has evolved into the Supertracker, a comprehensive global directory of more than 100 data sources.
\nCompiling policy trackers and surveys, the Supertracker allows users to search by:<\/p>\n
It will be updated with input from policy-makers, researchers and users, to identify symmetries and gaps in existing trackers and propose concrete actions to address these. These will be particularly relevant to the social policy and economic inequality prevention measures, that are put in place as lockdown policies ease.
