Event description
The importance of data in today’s world is uncontestable. Data access and its use fundamentally transforms all economic sectors and impacts economic growth. Different groups face different challenges and often have asymmetric access to data. It is thus essential to understand how to enhance the use and sharing of data across different groups while acknowledging and mitigating the connected risks.
In this context, the Global Data Barometer aims to support the shaping of data infrastructures to address pressing issues more effectively, as well as to limit risks and harms. It seeks to appraise and delves into the state of data in seven thematic areas (explored collaboratively with expert partners): climate action, company information, health and COVID-19, land, political integrity, public finance and public procurement by looking at them with 4 lenses: availability, governance, capability and use across the world.
The Global Data Barometer is a collaborative process and it relies on a network of regional hubs in order to understand the data landscape in more than 100 countries.
