Drive for Data-Powered Social Protection Systems
-
I am particularly excited about the recent Drive for Data-Powered Social Protection Systems held in Livingstone, Zambia; an initiative that reflects UNECA’s ongoing commitment to strengthening the evidence base for social protection across the continent. It is projects like these that fuel my eagerness to continue contributing to solutions that leave no one behind, especially in a region where poverty is multifaceted and requires innovative, data-driven interventions.
Being part of this process by supporting research, shaping narratives, and contributing to policies aimed at transforming lives has been both an inspiring and humbling experience. I remain passionate about the possibilities that lie ahead, not just for my personal growth, but for the future of Africa where policies are powered by data, and every person matters.
