Best Practices in Data Dissemination

New York, Friday 3 March 2006

The United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) will hold a Working Session on Emerging Trends and Best Practices in Data Dissemination on Friday 3 March 2006 . The working session will discuss the emerging trends in data dissemination policies and practices, approaches in promoting greater access to statistical information, and the means to enhance utilization and understanding of statistical data.

The meeting will coincide with the launch of UNSD’s project on “Statistics as Public Goods”, which aims to promote public access to UN data resources and to establish best practices in the dissemination of official statistics. The project is made possible as a result of the support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). The project will be implemented by UNSD in close collaboration with the Gapminder Foundation.
