Explore the perils of politicized data in this lecture on sustainable development and inequality. Based on Dr. Turki Faisal Al-Rasheed's Arab News article, "How Politicized Data Undermines Fair Development," we examine how governments—from Yemen and Syria's war zones to democracies like Indonesia, Pakistan, the US, and UK—fudge poverty and hunger stats for political gain, derailing UN SDGs.

Key examples: Egypt's downplayed poverty amid crises, Yemen's 82.7% multidimensional poverty rate warped by conflict, and Saudi Arabia's Citizens Account under Vision 2030, delivering $26B in aid to 10M citizens while hitting 93% of targets. This manipulation boosts inequality, slashes investment, and sparks unrest—studies link it to 0.113% food security drops from political risks.

We connect these to "Saudi Arabia's Transformation: Uncertainty and Sustainability," highlighting transparent data's role in progress. Dr. Al-Rasheed, University of Arizona adjunct and author of "Agricultural Development Strategies: The Saudi Experience," urges Multidimensional Poverty Index standards and civil society empowerment.
