Countries across Latin America and the Caribbean still face major gaps in the data needed to track the SDGs and reach the populations most at risk of being left behind. Citizen data, produced through the direct engagement of citizens and communities, has emerged as a way to help close those gaps and build public trust in statistics. This webinar brings together national statistical offices, civil society, and citizen data initiatives to share experiences and explore how citizen data can be integrated into official statistics.
What we'll cover
- What citizen data is and what it can offer SDG monitoring in the region
- Country experiences from Colombia, Belize, and Mexico, plus civil society initiatives
- How national statistical offices can assess and integrate citizen data
Who should attend
Officials from national statistical offices across Latin America and the Caribbean, along with line ministries, civil society organizations, academia, and development partners working on the region's data ecosystem.
Organized by the UN Statistics Division, the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, ECLAC, and the Collaborative on Citizen Data.
