The Power of Data for Impact Part 2: An overview of data enablers in the social sector

The report delves into data enablers within India’s social sector ecosystem. It maps key actors, including government open‑data initiatives at central and state levels, private-sector platforms, consulting firms, cloud providers, volunteers, academia, and global organisations like the UN. Through case studies and policy analysis, the report demonstrates how these intermediaries facilitate adoption of data-driven solutions by SPOs. It presents concrete recommendations for both implementing organisations and enablers, driving a holistic approach to strengthen data infrastructure, governance, capability, and partnerships across the sector.
