Data & Digital


ISE’s Data and Digital program develops tools, methods, and analysis to provide organizations and governments more efficient and accountable ways to deliver to citizens. Utilizing our years of experience working in reform settings, combined with engagement with leading experts in the field, our Data & Digital program promotes the growth of citizen-centered data ecosystems and enables innovative problem-solving. Current projects include a Reform Sequencing Tracker that codifies the sequence of a state’s reform actions and agendas, and an index that measures state effectiveness for more than 160 countries and territories across ISE’s 10 functions of the states.
