Dear All,

Data are the lifeblood of decision-making and the raw material for accountability. Without high-quality data providing the right information on the right things at the right time; designing, monitoring and evaluating effective policies becomes almost impossible.

A latest UN report highlights, how exponential growth of data can be used for sustainable development.

I hope this could be of interest to some of you.

best Regards,
