Opend Data Watch is an international non-governmental organization that monitors progress and provides assistance on how to use open and accessible data to meet SDGs. The Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data is a network of over 700 private sector, academic civil society groups, and governments that works to leverage the power of data to achieve the SDGs.
In the context of rising geopolitical tensions and shrinking development cooperation programs, the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) aims to chart the path for the next decade of development financing.
The world is off-track to meet 2030 SDGs, due in part to a persistent financing gap of $2.7-$4 trillion annually. Robust data systems can inform policy, shape solutions, ensure efficient public resource use, and drive private resource mobilization. But too often, national data and statistical systems face chronic underinvestment.
