We turn numbers into understanding—so decisions can be confident, policies informed, and progress visible.

The importance of statistics and data science has never been greater in an age dominated by data, uncertainty, and technological change.

SISDS mission: SISDS has been created with a focus and vision to establish a world-class center of excellence to champion rigorous data analysis, impactful research, and professional training based on evidence-based consultancy, especially in the changing and developing economies.

We seek to fill the gap between data and decisions – translating numbers into understanding that can be acted upon, whether that’s responding to policy, building up institutions, setting markets straight, or even just knowing where everyone is. At SISDS, we see data as something more than just a technical input – we think of it as a strategic asset. To the extent that data is worked on ethically and intelligently, it can bring us to sustainable development and social progress.

Leveraging decades of professional expertise in the field of official statistics, econometrics, the analysis of financial and social data, and institutional reform, SISDS is dedicated to instilling into students, researchers, professionals, and organizations their own analytical proficiency. We emphasize experiential, methodologically rigorous, and applied learning in all of our programs and services.

SISDS seeks to be a trusted partner for governments, universities, development firms, financial institutions, and the private sector in providing high-caliber solutions in surveys, impact evaluations/baseline studies, climate and socio-economic research, and cutting-edge data analytics.

I encourage you to learn more about our programs, research, and services and to help us build a future where data drives wisdom, policy is inspired by evidence, and development is informed by insight.

Join us, and help harness the power of data for a better tomorrow.
