As structural UN reforms consolidate, we are focused on building the data, digital, technology and innovation capabilities that 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 permeates all aspects of our work, and its power—harnessed responsibly—is critical to the 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 for data-driven change based on global best practice.
At the core of our Strategy is a simple idea:
We start with data action that adds immediate value for our organization and the people we serve.
Building a whole-of-UN ecosystem that unlocks our full data potential: For better decisions and stronger support to people and planet—in the moments that matter most.
At the heart of the 2030 Agenda are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. For the Decade of Action, we will leverage the UN family’s data potential everywhere we can and aim to mobilize governments, civil society and businesses.
Climate change is already affecting every country on every continent, impacting lives and disrupting economies, both now and in the future. We will put emphasis on employing data and analytics for urgent climate action.
25 years after the historic Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, where the Beijing Platform for Action was agreed upon, full gender equality around the world is still not a reality. Together with global partners, we will build better gender data and analytics capabilities.
Powered by the SG’s Call to Action on Human Rights, we will form global coalitions for human rights-based approaches to data, fight hate speech online while upholding freedoms and strengthen human rights monitoring.
We will leverage data and analytics for the prevention, mediation and resolution of conflicts: for stronger analysis and recommendations, to deploy peacekeepers faster to where they are needed most, and to protect civilians and UN personnel.
In support of stronger global digital cooperation, we will help foster dialogue, the collaborative design and the implementation of data policies that advance the responsible human-rights-based use of data and drive innovation for people and planet.
To accelerate UN reform, we will foster centres of excellence that catalyze stronger data and analytics capabilities, help account for reform benefits, foster transparency, raise performance, and build resilient supply chains.
Building on our Data Protection and Privacy Principles, our ambition is to strengthen dialogue with public and private stakeholders, and champion data protection and privacy capacity in the UN family.
Challenging everyone in the UN family to use data to understand “what happened”, “why it happened”, “what may happen next” – and respond with insight, impact and integrity
Building the skill, talent, teams and culture so that everyone in the UN family can support colleagues, people and planet with data insight, impact and integrity
Governing data at the right levels and with the right approaches everywhere, so that everyone in the UN family can leverage data as a strategic asset
Building sustainable data partnerships across ecosystems so that we can jointly tackle the toughest challenges and deliver solutions for people and planet
Making sure that our technology tools and processes are aligned to empower everyone, everywhere in using data optimally
