About this Project
The objective of this mission is to provide strategic assessments of the data, digital, and innovation ecosystem in partner countries. Through these assessments, MCC seeks to understand the core strengths and weaknesses of current processes, policies, and practices impacting data supply and demand – as well as strategic investments that can be integrated into program activities to improve the availability, timeliness, accessibility, interoperability, and quality of data that will be important for digitization and for achieving development outcomes. MCC requires both the facts of the situation as well as expert recommendations on strategies and approaches to improve data availability and quality, data use capacity, data literacy, and willingness to use data to support evidence-based decision-making and to contribute to the achievement of MCC’s planned program objectives.
In partnership with SBC4D, our team provides the following activities as part of this mission:
• Conduct strategic assessments of the data, digital, and innovation ecosystem in partner countries.
• Provide expert recommendations on strategies and approaches to improve data availability and quality, data use capacity, data mastery, and willingness to use data to support evidence-based decision-making.
• Contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the planned MCC programs.
