They are a mirror of society. A good mirror does not flatter; it shows who we are, what we have achieved and, most importantly, who we are leaving behind,\u201d said Obudho.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">He noted that Kenya has increasingly relied on disaggregated data to identify social and economic inequalities, informing policies such as the Kenya National Care Policy 2024 and programmes targeting vulnerable populations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The KNBS is also modernising statistical systems through artificial intelligence, citizen-generated data and digital technologies to improve decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The event marks a significant convergence between the global data ecosystem and the space science sector, with leaders highlighting the growing economic value of satellite-derived information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Kenya Space Agency Director General Brigadier Hillary Kipkosgey said investments in Earth observation infrastructure are helping transform raw satellite data into actionable intelligence for key sectors of the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cSatellites generate enormous amounts of information that help us understand what is happening on Earth. Through investments in Earth observation infrastructure and partnerships, Kenya is translating satellite data into insights that support food security, disaster risk reduction, environmental management and sustainable development,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The agency says it is expanding access to Earth observation data through investments in ground infrastructure and strategic partnerships, including collaboration with the Italian Space Agency, a move expected to support research, innovation and evidence-based public sector planning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Special Envoy on Technology Philip Thigo said stronger collaboration between governments, businesses and development institutions is essential to unlock the economic value of data while safeguarding privacy and security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThis gathering brings together two critical communities the data community and the space science community to discuss how data interoperability, policy frameworks and innovation can deliver sustainable development outcomes,\u201d said Thigo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cThe private sector generates vast amounts of valuable information. The challenge is creating mechanisms that allow data sharing as a public good while protecting privacy and ensuring the data benefits citizens, businesses and governments alike,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Industry stakeholders say robust national data systems are becoming increasingly important in attracting foreign direct investment, with investors relying on credible information to assess market opportunities, risks and growth potential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">According to the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (GPSDD), every dollar invested in data systems generates an average return of $32 through improved planning, investment decisions and service delivery, underscoring the economic case for sustained funding in the sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">\u201cEvery data point represents a person, and every pixel represents a place, a community and a life,\u201d said GPSDD Chief Executive Officer Jenna Slotin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">She added that reliable national data systems play a critical role in strengthening investor confidence by providing trusted information needed for economic planning and risk assessment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The conference also highlighted how county governments are increasingly adopting geospatial technologies to improve governance and infrastructure planning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Vihiga Governor Wilber Ottichilo said Geographic Information Systems (GIS), satellite imagery and demographic data are helping counties make more informed decisions in healthcare, land management and urban development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">The Global Data Festival, first held in Bristol, United Kingdom, in 2018 and later in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in 2023, is being hosted on African soil for the first time, in what organizers say reinforces Kenya\u2019s growing stature as a regional centre for digital innovation, data governance and emerging technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI,Kenya,June 4-Kenya is seeking to strengthen its appeal to investors and technology innovators by championing greater investment in data systems, artificial intelligence and space technology, as Nairobi hosts Africa\u2019s first-ever Global Data Festival alongside the third Kenya Space Expo and Conference.
