Inclusive data is central to advancing the Leave No One Behind agenda. It ensures that marginalized communities are safely represented in the data and decision-making processes that shape development policy.

This breakfast meeting will bring together Heads of National Statistical Offices from Colombia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal to officially kick off Phase 2 of the Make Inclusive Data the Norm initiative.

Building on lessons from Colombia, Ghana, and Kenya, the initiative will expand to Nigeria and Senegal, strengthening South–South cooperation on citizen data, disaggregation, community engagement, and inclusive data systems.

The session will focus on shared priorities, institutional buy-in, and collaboration across countries as they design locally owned and sustainable inclusive data solutions.
