The Joint Organisations Data Initiative (JODI) is a concrete outcome of the global energy dialogue. IEF Energy Ministers recognize that the exchange and free dissemination of energy market data helps to mitigate uncertainty by improving market transparency and facilitating well-informed decision-making that instils investor confidence, supports market stability and strengthens energy security.
The Initiative, coordinated by the IEF since 2005, relies on the combined efforts of the eight JODI partner organisations (APEC, EUROSTAT, GECF, IEA, OLADE, OPEC, and UNSD), and more than 100 national administrations, and industry stakeholders to gather, verify and transmit the official data that populates JODI’s two public databases JODI-Oil and JODI-Gas with key monthly supply and demand indicators.
JODI’s databases are the public face of the Initiative, but they are only the tip of the ice-berg. The capacity building workshops delivered by JODI partners around the globe, provide training to the statisticians and other experts who are the backbone of the initiative, and facilitate information sharing and study of best practice. Partners also engage with the global JODI data-user community through regular
regional meetings which encourage the user feedback that is the essence of JODI.
The initiative is unique in its ability to harness cooperation along the length of the supply chain and across government, industry, organisational and national boundaries. ...

Following the 12th International JODI Conference in April 2015 in New Delhi, India, a JODI 5-Year Action Plan was developed to identify ways to achieve greater energy data transparency under the JODI framework.
The plan, facilitating the solicitation of support of JODI from senior government officials, was endorsed by the Heads of the JODI Partners Organisations (APEC, Eurostat, GECF, IEA, IEF, OLADE, OPEC, and UNSD) during the meeting in Algiers in September 2016:
“…The heads of JODI Partners reviewed and endorsed the Five-Year JODI plan to 2020 and agreed to focus future actions by the JODI partners based on the plan...”
The plan identified seven key objectives, on which JODI Partners and other key stakeholders’ activities should focus over the next 5 years:
• Objective 1: Continue to enhance the quality of JODI data
• Objective 2: Improve the timeliness of data reporting mechanisms
• Objective 3: Continue to strengthen capacity building efforts
• Objective 4: Strengthen engagement with JODI user/energy data analytics community
• Objective 5: Raise JODI brand awareness
• Objective 6: Consider improvement of data transparency for other forms of energy
• Objective 7: Identify and engage with JODI Champions
To date JODI partners have undertaken numerous actions in line with the plan and made significant progress on these objectives. The “JODI 5-Year Action Plan toward 2020” document initially published prior to IEF15 in 2016 highlights the initial progress and accomplishments. JODI Partners continue to make tangible progress on each objective. Additional progress will be reflected in future updates of progress based on the plan.
