Data4Development Platform for Monitoring Vision 2030 Jamaica
Project Description
Through the Data4Development Platform, the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ), in collaboration with CSF and with support from UNDP Jamaica, is using DFA Monitoring to track and report progress toward achieving Vision 2030 Jamaica and related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
