More detailed information:
Inclusive development means that everyone benefits from public development processes, yet current official statistics often overlook the specific situations of marginalised groups. Citizen Data, driven by local communities, offers a promising solution to this data challenge, providing insights into the local drivers of exclusion and helping to inform more inclusive planning processes.
In our side event, we will highlight the work and practices of Citizen Data practitioners from Africa and Asia. Through dialogues with statisticians and global experts, we will explore the role of Citizen Data in creating a more inclusive, rights-driven, and participatory development landscape. We will also discuss the new Copenhagen Framework for Citizen Data that was co-developed by the LNOB Partnership and its strategic partners last year, and recently commended by the UN Statistics Commission, and which is meant to guide both civil society and governments around the globe in the production and use of Citizen Data.
Together with our partners, we want to raise awareness about the value of Citizen Data in elevating the perspectives of marginalised communities and its potential to make public planning more inclusive. Attendees of our side event will have the opportunity to engage in discussions on how inclusive data approaches can be utilised in the remaining years of the "SDG decade of action" to ensure that no one is left behind.
Join us to contribute to this critical dialogue and help shape a more inclusive future. See you there! 🙌
