Welcome to the Data to Policy Network
The Data to Policy Network is an interactive forum for policymakers worldwide to engage in collaborative learning and knowledge sharing.
Convened by the the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation (UNOSSC), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) the network provides policymakers with an opportunity to exchange insights on the integration of new data sources into their policymaking endeavors. Embracing a diverse array of regions, sectors, and governmental agencies, the network aims to foster mutual learning and catalyze collaboration among its members.
