Data for development
Data plays a crucial role in designing effective development policies, yet its availability and use in low- and middle-income countries remain inconsistent. In some cases, data is simply unavailable, in others it exists but remains underutilised due to limited access or awareness.
Our panel explores how these challenges can be addressed and examines the transformative role of data in shaping global development initiatives. They discuss the potential of leveraging both existing data and AI tools to generate insights and inform policies that drive sustainable growth.
