Whydo we need a “data revolution” and what should it include? Whatdo we want to achieve? What do we need to produce What are the next steps?
Lessons from the MDGs • MDG monitoring had an overall positive impact on data production: • More surveys, data and statistics available • Countries following up after donors left • Statistical capacity efforts – NSDS as strategic approach • … but we have created some new problems • Data orphans • National data not always used • Crowding out rather than crowding in 1
The data revolution Should … • Build on past successes • Promote the expansion of more relevant, timely, open and reliable data production • Support decision makers, including politicians, business and citizens, to make informed decision for better lives • Be implemented in new ways to strengthen statistical capacity and improve data production 1
Howcan we achieve a data revolution? • Think out of the box – be revolutionary, but remain realistic • Build on what works, harness new opportunities • Create and strengthen new partnerships
With financial support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, PARIS21 is carrying out a 22 month project to Inform a Data Revolution
What we want to achieve – improve the production, accessibility and use of data to support and strengthen evidence-based decisions What we want to do Improve understanding of data systems Build a coalition and involve new partners Develop a road-map for the data revolution supporting the post 2015 development process
