About the Programme
This programme explores how governments can harness data, analytics and emerging technologies to improve policy outcomes and service delivery. Participants will gain practical insights into building data-informed institutions capable of responding to complex social and economic challenges. Participants will examine data governance, predictive analytics, digital tools and performance measurement systems that support evidence-informed decision-making. The programme considers opportunities presented by big data, artificial intelligence and integrated datasets, while addressing issues related to privacy, ethics and public trust. Case studies demonstrate how governments are using data to anticipate needs, optimise resources and improve policy effectiveness.
