Data Systems

"Data is a powerful tool that can change the way we do development work…(b)y providing more points of information…and hence, the opportunity to make better decisions for impact."

‍

– United Nations Development Program

Data is everywhere around us and, particularly in this modern world, can be used to inform our decision-making processes and practices. Applying data innovatively to support learning, sustainability, and systemic change increases the possibility of creating and maintaining long-lasting change. According to the World Bank, “high quality development data is the foundation for meaningful policy making, efficient resource allocation, and effective public service delivery.”
