The Global Partnership at a glance 

The Global Partnership is a network of over 700 organizations that believe that data and technology can be key instruments for social good, and that are committed to working together to make this happen. 

In 2015, the network was set up to solve the disconnect between the activity on the supply side of data and technology, where there’s a huge amount of innovation, piloting, and testing of new approaches, and the gaps on the demand side. New innovations were not getting to where they were most needed, if data and technology were to play their part in tackling the biggest global problems and achieving the SDGs. The Global Partnership forms the connective tissue between supply and demand, actively fostering communities for learning, action, and advocacy. 

The joint work of the network is convened by a Secretariat based across the world, hosted by the United Nations Foundation. 

Our mission is to connect, strengthen, and amplify a diverse and action-focused network to ensure the power of data and technology is used to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, reducing inequality, and driving sustainability.
