Data and disruptive technologies are essential enablers to achieve social impact at scale, with speed and efficiency. There have been several technological advancements in leveraging data to build powerful analytics, visualisations and AI/ML models in the for-profit sector. The social sector too would benefit from the use of data and data science, and by building capacities and partnerships to leverage this progress.

CDSSI will assist SPOs in this direction by creating and disseminating actionable knowledge on data and data sciences, impacting data and data science practices and approaches, and by building partnerships and networks to drive scalable social change.
