It is with great pleasure that I present this final project after enrolling into the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC): Data for Better Lives: A New Social Contract. This course based on the World Bank’s World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives, meticulously addressed the tremendous and untapped potential of data along with its harmful power when unused or misused and thereby emphasized on the need for a social contract to harness and divert the potential of data to bring about development changes, specially in the context of developing countries, while fostering trust through an ecosystem of data governance. This course provides a whole new perspective on data and its linkage with development. Among the many takeaways, the emphasis on the creation of an Integrated National Data System (INDS), provides a holistic approach on how data can be produced, used/reused/repurposed, the main actors in this process, and the pillars needed to make better and sustainable use of data for development purpose.
