\nUNDP Nigeria has established a Knowledge Hub to enhance its ability to make timely and evidence-based interventions, particularly in areas of Preventing and Responding to Violent Extremism, conflict prevention and human security. A new\u00a0type of\u00a0\u2018development intelligence gathering\u2019, i.e. continuous monitoring and data collection, is crucial to inform UNDP\u2019s work for early warning, adjust interventions to maximize preventive efforts and\u00a0initiate\u00a0new thematic approaches. Trend analyses and\u00a0ad-hoc\u00a0policy briefs will also inform interventions of UNDP\u2019s development partners in this field. Through harnessing the potential offered by both old and new sources of data, it is UNDP\u2019s hope that the accuracy and precision of its development responses\u00a0are increased\u00a0and a strong foundation for meaningful public policy making, efficient resource allocation and effective public service delivery\u00a0is created. The ultimate\u00a0objective\u00a0of the Knowledge Hub is to harness data, including\u00a0real time\u00a0data, for development through providing evidence-based intelligence that can\u00a0be translated\u00a0to meaningful policies and planning for development impact.<\/p>\n
