GLOBAL DATA FACILITY

Unlocking the full value of data

The Global Data Facility helps low- and middle-income countries improve lives and safeguard the planet by ensuring durable transformation of data systems and data capital through more and better funding for data and statistics. It enables multiple pathways to impact by helping states unlock the full value of data for development.

Here are some of the ways that data can be actively transformed into decisions that improve lives and livelihoods of poor and marginalized people and safeguard the planet:
