Data strategy of the Secretary-General for action by everyone, everywhere with insight, impact and integrity, 2020-22

As structural UN reforms settle, we focus on building the data, digital, technology and innovation capabilities the UN needs to succeed in the 21st century. The Secretary-General’s "Data Strategy for Action by Everyone, Everywhere" is our agenda for the data-driven transformation. Data now permeates all aspects of our work, and its power - harnessed responsibly - is critical to global agendas we serve. The UN family’s footprint, expertise and connectedness create unique opportunities to advance global "data action" with insight, impact and integrity. To help unlock more potential, 50 UN entities jointly designed this Strategy as a comprehensive playbook based on global best practice. As a COVID-19 response priority, the Secretary-General and Executive Committee approved the Strategy in April 2020.
