Digital transformation is reshaping national data systems, from civil registration and administrative data to digital public infrastructure. But fragmented systems, capacity gaps, and underinvestment continue to slow progress.
This side event will explore how national statistical leaders are strengthening their role in digital transformation, and how the Power of Data High Impact Initiative is aligning partnerships and investments to accelerate SDG progress. It will promote dialogue among countries and partners, share country experiences in digitizing and integrating data, identify priorities for future investments, and explore opportunities to expand collaboration.
Featuring champion countries including Costa Rica, Mongolia, Nigeria, and Kenya, alongside UN and development partners, the session will highlight practical lessons, investment priorities, and opportunities to scale collaboration for secure, inclusive, and interoperable data systems.
