As part of ODW’s “watch” function What’s Being Said  has regularly provided a monthly review of key articles and reports on open data, SDGs, gender data, and official statistics related to the data revolution. To make access quicker and hopefully more useful, instead of a monthly general list, we are now beginning to separate out certain topics, update on a rolling basis, and present resources following the Data Value Chain model.

Below are links to the three thematic resources pages developed so far for What’s Being Said. These include pages related to data on covid-19, civil registration and vital statistics, and census.

Civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) record births, deaths, and other major life events that are essential to understanding the development of a country and its people. CRVS are critical for protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals and in particular women, girls, and other vulnerable groups.
