There is a revolution underway within the global development community and it’s all about data.
Devex and its partners — Agence Française de Développement (AFD), BroadReach, Chemonics, and Johnson & Johnson — will explore the power that data has to change our approach to achieving development outcomes in every sector. Over four weeks, #DataDriven will examine major questions including where the data revolution is headed, how data can improve service delivery for government and businesses alike, how data can help close the gap on gender parity, and more. Through interactive features, insightful stories, engaging video interviews and inspiring guest columns we will explore how every one of us can — and must — make data a central part of the way we work.

It’s for development professionals to share their work on the sustainable development goals, on-the-ground and in real time.
