India Data Capacity Accelerator
Driving data talent at the intersection of climate and health.
In May 2023, data.org launched the India Data Capacity Accelerator, catalyzing the application of data to address systemic challenges at the intersection of climate and health—including the critical need to build capacity. In partnership with J-PAL South Asia and three leading university partners, the India Accelerator is training purpose-driven data practitioners with interdisciplinary subject-matter expertise in climate and health data. Additionally, through one-year fellowship placements, practitioners are advancing their skills through experiential learning with social sector organizations to tackle real-world problems.
