The High Level Forum is organized in response to the Statistics Commission’s decision 45/103, which among others, called for engagement in the debate on the data revolution, and reiterated the critical need for adequate statistical capacity, both technical and institutional, and the need for coordinated efforts and investments to fill the data gaps and satisfy the new data requirements. The Forum will bring together official statisticians with the purpose to discuss and identify the elements of a future global strategic framework for training, knowledge management and sharing. It will seek to formulate an adequate response to the increasing and changing demand for building human capacity, in particular training, in the era of data revolution, with a view to facilitate the modernization of official statistics and improve the ability of the national statistical systems to inform decision makers and monitor the post-2015 development agenda effectively, efficiently and sustainably. All participants of the forthcoming Statistical Commission are cordially invited. The Forum is also open to policy makers and experts of civil society, academia and the private sector. Presentations will be followed by general discussion.
