OTHER SOLUTIONS

Fragmented data – Disconnected sources create siloed decision-making and incomplete insights.

No expert analysis – Raw data without interpretation leaves planning teams without clear direction.

Short-term fixes – Traditional consulting creates dependency instead of building internal capability.

Outdated insights – Infrequent updates lead to poor decisions and missed opportunities.

Lack of balance – Without integrated data, governments struggle to align economic, social, and environmental priorities.
