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.
