2023-24 Scale-up project

Overview

The Data to Policy Navigator, a Digital Public Good by the United Nations Development Programme, implemented by GIZ and financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development(BMZ) and EU funds, helps policymakers turn data into policy.

Promoting evidence-informed decisions, it supports sustainable policy innovation. With over 20,000 users from 180+ countries and 200+ policymakers trained, it contributes to more informed decision-making.

Project's trajectory over past year

Thanks to SCUP support this past year, the Data to Policy Navigator expanded its impact. SCUP mentorship enhanced our strategies for improving global accessibility to the Navigator. With guidance from our mentors and sessions, we integrated these tools into our daily work.

To date, we have trained over 200 policymakers in 10 countries to enhance their data-to-policy skills.

SCUP guidance also contributed to our efforts in mainstreaming our global Data to Policy Network in early 2024, now connecting over 350 members from over 30 countries.
