I joined #Ghana VP @MBawumiadata & data champions with United Nations Amina J Mohammed at #WBG Spring Meetings to call for support to scale up investments in #data. We're working with countries to build better data systems, overcome data deprivation, generate quality data & put data to work.

Today's panel on “Putting Data to Work for People and Planet” shows high-level commitment to invest in timely, comprehensive, and high-quality #data as the foundation for #sustainabledevelopment and pandemic recovery.

Thank you to our distinguished guests and speakers, our research and thematic partners, and you for attending our launch event! We'll upload the recordings of the event soon. For now do explore our website: globaldatabarometer.org 🥳 #databarometer #d4dnetwork #TheGDB Caroline Ford
