Overview
The Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (GPSDD), hosted by the United Nations Foundation, engages with partners across sectors to broker partnerships that enable the production, sharing, and use of better data to drive better decisions and better lives for all. With this grant, GPSDD will work to increase government actors’ access to and use of privately held data by (a) improved governance, management skills, and capacity of government actors in focus countries to access and ultimately use privately held data; and (b) advanced learning on the pathways from strengthening governance and management capacity to smoother data access and increased data use. This grant will advance one of the goals under our Evidence-Informed Policymaking strategy, that governments use new and traditional forms of data to improve policy decision making and ultimately outcomes for people.

Grants to this Grantee
for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is uniquely suited to help states deliver on historic opportunities for bold climate action and maximize the potential of the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This grant will support states as they harness new federal resources, creating in-house secretariat capacity to provide technical, policy, and communications assistance to states, at scale, and deliver critical flexible funding.

for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors representing 24 states, with more than 60% of U.S. GDP, 55% of the U.S. population, and 40% of U.S. emissions. These governors are committed to driving the nation’s ambitious climate agenda by working in partnership with each other, the federal government, and the international community. The alliance has an important role to play in implementation of federal climate investment laws by supporting state engagement with federal agencies, supporting the development of state decarbonization plans, and supporting effective deployment of federal dollars to drive decarbonization and community economic development.
