Creating Technology for Social Change

UN World Data Forum Summary

I’m just back from the first UN World Data Forum in Cape Town, South Africa. I presented there on my creative, hands-on approach to building empowerment through data literacy.

I liveblogged a number of sessions while I was there.  Read some of these to get a sense of how non-profits, official statisticians, and journalists are thinking about data.  There was a particular focus on support the Sustainable Development Goals, but many of the comments and case studies shared have impacts for anyone working with data-driven decision making.
