Paris 21: Spring Meeting - Going local to leave no one behind: The role of sub-national data

Input at the panel «Leveraging local data for humanitarian crisis response: Balancing open data sharing with the imperative to protect vulnerable populations»

To continue the work towards our goal to make fact-based decisions, we need the missing piece. What better than going local to complete the puzzle?

'Investing in local data systems will help countries develop policies and programmes that support the needs of diverse populations. Moreover, it will help during times of crisis by ensuring that measures are effective and appropriate. Both scaling up and smarter financing are key to local data.

The 2023 PARIS21 Spring Meetings seek to unpack these issues, to understand how and where sub-national and local data are bringing transformative change, and to identify financing solutions to issues of data localisation.

The conference will feature a series of in-person events that bring together policymakers, national and local statistical offices, private sector representatives, foundations, international organisations, civil society, and academia.

The event will culminate in a call to action to leverage the potential of local data to address global challenges.

Check out our programme and our delightful guests. The event is open to everyone so please feel free to join!
