Capacity-development for data-driven decision-making

  • Training and skills development for evidence-informed policymaking
  • The identification of currently and potentially available data sources and the assessment of training needs
  • Institutional capacity development including data governance and data strategy support
  • Placement of data fellows in select public-sector institutions (and capacity development for these fellows)
