Title
Decision-Making and Data Use Landscaping [at DFID]
Abstract
As DFID aims to harness the Data Revolution, ensuring that data1
drive decision-making, public
accountability, and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring
that systems, processes, and skills for data are aligned with these objectives is paramount.
Across sector policy teams, country offices, and various analytical and technical cadres, different
strengths and weaknesses, as well as needs and ambitions exist. To inform a strategic approach
to data, as framed in its forthcoming Data Roadmap, DFID collaborated with Development
Gateway to perform a Decision and Data Use Landscaping study. This report details lessons
learned from approximately 60 interviews across 4 DFID country offices, all sector policy teams,
senior managers, and various analytical and technical cadres and offices.
