Project Summary

Comprehensive collection of new data is often prohibitively costly, however, often data does exist - locked away in formats or archives inaccessible to the decision maker. The proposed activity would be the initial phase of a programme of work aiming to build capacity within countries to increase access to and appropriate use of existing data - enabling countries to be ready to contribute to global assessment processes as well as addressing EBM and MSP challenges.
