In line with the broader objectives of the D4D initiative, the workshop sought to enhance the analytical and data visualization capacity of public sector institutions, foster a culture of evidence-based decision-making, bridging technical expertise in data analytics with the practical data needs of Pakistan's public sector and development organizations.
