our experience shows that although we have gained some ground with policymakers to make them recognise the need for investment in data, we need more traction to get them to commit resources. An ideal strategy in my view is to get a partner willing to put up investments for a pilot. once we demonstrate the effectiveness of such a system, it would be easier to attract more resources especially when demonstrating value for investment.

Hi Aurelie,

Thanks,
