Data has become indispensable instrument for human-centered policies, good governance, decision-making and policy development. Data are produced and used with data systems being increasingly utilized by strategists and decision-makers. Informed organizations and institutions are better equipped to take decisions which serve the needs of various socio-economic groups and society in general. Evidence based decision-making is key to ensuring that development policies are comprehensive and lined up to serve all population groups. Hence, data gathering, analysis and dissemination is an important step in the cycle of policymaking.

Reliable data also increase public trust in institutional decisions and the transparency of interventions and policies. In this context, numerous countries in the region and wider are developing institutional infrastructure to gather, digitalize, store, manage and make data more available for decision-making and for research. Kosovo is still facing substantial problems in the implementation of Open Data among WB countries. The findings of a study on real-time monitoring of the dataset quality of open data in the Western Balkan, availability of low-quality dataset formats appears to be the biggest concern impacting data reuse. However digital transformation has a lot of potential due to institutional drive and commitment for a Digital Agenda and promotion of access to Open Government Data (OGD).

In the rapidly evolving data ecosystem with a focus on access to fast and accurate data has become a driving force for decision-makers, not least because of reduced resources offset by increased demand by the population. In this context, USAID and UNDP have partnered to bridge this data gap through the Public Pulse - a flagship research project, funded by USAID and implemented by UNDP, which has generated data spanning to 2002. Public Pulse has emerged as a stalwart of ‘data hub’ which responds to Kosovo’s needs for data availability and its use for informed policymaking. Public Pulse V builds on results to date and introduces new methods data extraction and supports local capacity development through the following activities:
(1) Public Pulse biannual opinion polls;
(2) Public Pulse Analysis;
(3) Data Visualization Platform;
(4) Capacity development and technical support.
