Data and Technology

Building resilience starts with better data. CDRI’s Data and Technology Programme will empower Member Countries with geospatial and infrastructure risk data to inform resilient policies and investments.

Addressing gaps in human capacity, data accessibility, and technology adoption, the programme will provide support through technical assistance, training, and advocacy.

A dedicated unit within CDRI will support risk modelling, introduce new technologies and enable data-driven decision-making across infrastructure systems.
