Data is a fundamental pillar in diagnosing, planning and promoting sustainable and inclusive development based on evidence. A data strategy not only helps to better manage information, but also to drive innovation, increase transparency, and address territorial challenges such as guiding productive policy or understanding how climate change will affect each region. The generation of quality data makes it possible to obtain accurate and reliable information.

However, it is not enough to produce data; it is necessary to treat it as a strategic asset, process it properly and use it efficiently and ethically. Only in this way is it possible to design, implement, manage, evaluate and improve public policies that respond to the real needs of society, thus promoting development that is equitable, sustainable and oriented towards the common good.
