SUMMARY:Moving From Data Production to Impact: A Discussion on the Role of the NSO in Facilitating Greater Data Use
DESCRIPTION:This United Nations Statistical Commission side event\, co-hosted by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network’s Thematic Research Network on Data and Statistics (SDSN TReNDS) and Open Data Watch (ODW)\, will introduce and source audience feedback on a new ‘Avoiding Data Graveyards’ project that proposes a transformation process for effective data use to help producers of official statistics maximize data uptake and impact. \nThe process focuses on three key areas affecting data use: (1) capacity to govern data (organizational strategies\, laws\, and regulations); (2) capacity to meet user needs (responding to data demands); and (3) capacity to use data (data literacy). The session will also highlight data use challenges from NSO leadership\, showcase successful examples of how countries have improved the impact and uptake of their data during the pandemic\, and share lessons learned.

SUMMARY:The Power of Open Data: Moving From Concept to Action
DESCRIPTION:This official United Nations Statistical Commission side event is co-hosted by Statistics Sweden\, Australian Bureau of Statistics\, and Open Data Watch. \nThe demand for open data has raised the profile of the national statistical office and brought with it a new set of challenges to explore and overcome. To respond to this growing interest and demand\, at its fiftieth session in 2019\, the U.N. Statistical Commission established a Working Group on Open Data to support the development of guidance for the assessment and practical application of open data in the context of official statistics. \nSince 2019\, the Working Group has been researching critical areas to ensure data collected and managed by national statistical offices can reach their full potential and benefit society as well as offer pathways forward to move from conceptualization of Open Data to implementation and action. These areas include the “Open Data by Default” principle\, Interoperability\, and Local-Level Data. \nThis session provides an opportunity to report on the work completed by the Working Group on Open Data to date\, focusing specifically on sharing best practices at the country-level of implementing open data by default and disseminating local-level open data while safeguarding confidentiality and privacy.

SUMMARY:The Impact of COVID-19 on National Statistical Offices: Accelerating Innovation
DESCRIPTION:As with all activities\, data collection by National Statistical Offices (NSO) was disrupted by the quarantine measures undertaken in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact was particularly felt in those activities that rely on face-to-face interviews\, such as household surveys and censuses. \nThe abruptness of the quarantine measures meant that changes in data collection efforts had to be done quickly and that new approaches and data sources had to be tried. This seminar will present the experience of NSOs in the use of new data collection methods and data sources to continue with their regular flows of statistics and to satisfy new demands for information.

SUMMARY:Virtual Debate: How Can We Leverage Population Data In A Time Of Crisis?
DESCRIPTION:With 10 years left to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals\, it is essential to understand where people are located\, what conditions they are facing\, what infrastructure is available and what basic services they can access. New approaches to population data could hold the key to meeting these vital global targets. Gridded population maps distribute data using grid cells\, combining census results with additional information\, such as geospatial data from satellites. While gridded population data is a powerful tool for sustainable development\, many policymakers and researchers are still unaware of its potential uses. \nIn this special virtual debate\, SDSN TReNDS is teaming up with SciDev.Net to convene an expert panel to help demystify gridded population data and debate how population data can help tackle global crises.

SUMMARY:Africa Gender Data Network Webinar Series: Building a case for disaggregated data
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this webinar is to share best practices and success stories in support of national statistical offices to mainstream data disaggregation in their program. \nFilling gender data gaps and producing more and better disaggregated data presents a unique set of challenges that often falls on national statistical offices\, particularly on the gender data focal points or champions within those offices. Meeting this demand for multiple disaggregations is not an easy task and will take ingenuity and creativity to complete. It also requires strong gender data mechanisms inside government that can effectively advocate for their activities and secure the resources to fulfill their goals. This is why skills such as strategic planning\, teamwork and communication skills are increasingly recognized as equally important across statistical organisations just as technical one are.

SUMMARY:Talking Data Feminism with Catherine D'Ignazio and Lauren F. Klein
DESCRIPTION:Join Data2X for a conversation with Catherine D’Ignazio and Lauren F. Klein\, the authors of the recently published Data Feminism. \nData Feminism offers strategies for data scientists seeking to learn how feminism can help them work toward justice\, and for feminists who want to focus their efforts on the growing field of data science. But Data Feminism is about much more than gender. It is about power\, about who has it and who doesn’t\, and about how those differentials of power can be challenged and changed

SUMMARY:Approaching COVID-19 Risk and Response through a Gender Lens
DESCRIPTION:While the immediate impacts of COVID-19 are already apparent\, some have yet to surface\, and many of them will have different effects for different genders. Health systems\, schools\, and entire economies will continue to present gender-differential consequences for months and years to come as a result of this ongoing crisis. \nBy applying a gender lens to this pandemic\, researchers and policy makers can better assess differential risks and target responses to ensure already-vulnerable populations don’t fall even farther behind. Join us for this online discussion with CGD experts\, external researchers\, practitioners\, and advocates on how a gender lens helps us better understand and respond to the threat of COVID-19.

SUMMARY:Measuring Development (VI): Data Integration and Data Fusion
DESCRIPTION:MeasureDev 2020 is brought to you by CEGA in partnership with the World Bank’s ​Development Impact Evaluation​ (DIME)​ group and Innovations in Big Data Analytics​. Join this virtual conference to learn how new sources of “big” data–including call detail records\, satellites\, and remote sensing networks–are changing the landscape of global development\, while offering timely research opportunities during the COVID-19 crisis. These data sources are particularly valuable to researchers and decision-makers as they provide data at a much higher frequency and lower marginal cost than traditional surveys. While big data and survey data can each be useful on their own\, hybrid approaches that enrich big data with survey data enable exciting new analytical opportunities. \nIn an environment where traditional forms of field-based data collection will be constrained for the foreseeable future\, we look forward to highlighting non-traditional methods for collecting and analyzing data related to international development.
