Unlocking the Power of Data Revolution for Sustainable Development
The global call for a data revolution aims to integrate statistics into decision-making processes, promote open access to data, and strengthen statistical systems. Organizations like PARIS21 and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are working towards a roadmap for an effective data revolution. This movement, sparked by the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons in 2013, requires collaboration from various sectors to achieve sustainable development goals by leveraging the right data for informed decision-making.

informing a data revolution right data, to the right people, at the right time, in the right format IDR progress report Bangkok Regional Workshop July 17-18 ,2014
informing a data revolution Whydo we need a data revolution ? What do we want to achieve? How will we do it? Who should be involved? When will it be done? 2
wanted: a new data revolution informing a data revolution A true data revolution would draw on existing and new sources of data to fully integrate statistics into decision making, promote open access to, and use of, data and ensure increased support for statistical systems. Anew global partnership: eradicate poverty and transform economies through sustainable development: The Report of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, 30 May 2013, Chapter 4 3
why a data revolution? call for a data revolution in early 2013 by the High Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post 2015 Framework individuals and organizations around the world from academics to politicians, and civil society organizations to development banks, have been inspired to make the data revolution become a reality. many of us have a very different idea of what it means, and what it will take to get there. informing a data revolution 4
why a data revolution? informing a data revolution The Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st Century (PARIS21), along with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is seeking to: inform this discussion and produce a Road Map that will guide international leaders and policymakers, and national governments and statistical offices, in their path toward an effective, relevant, and sustainable development data revolution. 5
why a data revolution? We need to unlock the power of data informing a data revolution DATA INFORMATION Getting the right data, to the right people, at the right time, in the right format. KNOWLEDGE ACTION 6
the data revolution needs to . . informing a data revolution Be about more than just data Be about more than monitoring development goals Deliver quickly, 2030 will be too late Strengthen and sustain national statistical systems, but be much more than business as usual Be innovative, fill data gaps and make much better use of the data we do have Make better use of the opportunities provided by new technology Be built on a real partnership, with much better coordination at all levels 7
the data revolution needs to . . informing a data revolution The data revolution must address existing data gaps to ensure that better statistics lead to better decisions leading to better lives. This will require an understanding of the different types of data gaps, and how they relate to national statistical systems. 8 1
the data revolution needs to . . Think out of the box, but remain realistic informing a data revolution Build on what works, but make use of new opportunities Strengthen existing and create new partnerships 9 1
data gaps informing a data revolution Does the data exist? Are the data accessible? In 2012, about 230 million children under the age of 5 (approximately 1 in 3) did not have their births registered. Only a quarter of South Asian countries have a complete civil registration system. Out of almost 2000 surveys across 37 countries documented online by the International Household Survey Network (IHSN), only 42% are available for public use. Are the data reliable? Are the data relevant? It has been estimated that almost 80% of the growth in international remittances to developing countries over the past 20 years can be attributed solely to changes in measurement. While the MDGs only acknowledge 2 data points for Nepal s net enrolment ratio in primary education, many more national data exist yet do not conform to international standards. 10
the IDR project will.. informing a data revolution Take stock in countries of what is being done good and bad and find out about the needs of data producers and data users Explore innovations, finding out what works and seeing if and how it can be replicated Advocate for and promote a data revolution Produce a road map for the next five years 11
