Description: The session connects the broader data community at the World Data Forum with actors who are taking data into their own hands to discuss and be inspired by: (1) their pathways toward becoming data producers, (2) the enabling environment for these initiatives to flourish, (3) the added value of their traditional and non-traditional data collection methods in improving the realization of their rights, and (4) the support they need for sustainable production and use of citizen data. The event also invites the World Data Forum Community to co-create a roadmap for implementing the Copenhagen Framework on Citizen Data, developed by the Collaborative on Citizen Data in 2024.

Description: The workshop will train participants from national statistical offices on quality assurance and its implementation throughout the national statistical system. It will also support the development of additional guidelines on quality assurance. Specifically, the workshop will provide an overview of the contents of the Manual, the United Nations National Quality Assurance Framework, the Code of Good Practice in Statistics for Latin America and the Caribbean, and ECLAC’s Guide for the implementation of a quality assurance framework for statistical processes and outputs. It will review and discuss the implementation of quality assurance in participating countries. A special focus will be on quality assurance when administrative and other data sources (such as big data or citizen generated data) are used for producing official statistics. Other topics will include quality culture and data stewardship. The sharing of experiences will be a central element of this workshop and support the development of additional guidance on some of the above-mentioned topics.
