Turning Data into Action

The sessions concluded with “The Knowledge Project: Turning Data into Action,” by Dr. Hany Torky, Chief Technical Adviser at the UNDP
Knowledge Project.

Dr. Torky affirmed that the primary challenge today is acting on data rather than just collecting it. He outlined three levels of the Knowledge
Project: measurement via the Global Knowledge Index (GKI), trend analysis, and transforming knowledge into evidence-based policies.

He emphasized that systemic thinking including education, research, and digital infrastructure is essential for a knowledge-based society. Dr.
Torky described data as a compass directing decision-makers toward strategic, sustainable development.
