E-Analytics and Innovation Training
Arab States Qatar
In line with the UN Secretary-General’s Strategy on New Technologies and Data Strategy, and the recent UN 2.0 policy brief, DPPA’s annual E-Analytics and Innovation Course focuses on leveraging exploring innovative approaches in peace and security contexts. It provides an overview of the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging new technologies and equips participants with practical skills and tools to integrate evidence-driven analysis into UN initiatives for conflict prevention, peacemaking, and peacebuilding.
Designing the course to align with DPPA’s mandate and the UN 2.0 vision was instrumental in making project outputs more relevant, actionable, and grounded in institutional priorities. This strategic alignment encouraged participants to approach their prototypes with a focus on cost-efficiency and practicality—an especially important consideration given the current financial constraints.
