International Workshop on Data Disaggregation for SDGs

28 - 30 JAN 2019   Bangkok, Thailand
United Nations Conference Centre (UNCC)

Inclusion is at the core of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Inclusiveness speaks to the notion of empowerment and the principle of non-discrimination and is reflected in the pledge to leave no one behind. To meet the data needs of the 2030 Agenda and address all vulnerable groups, it is important to strengthen national statistical systems to collect and use disaggregated data. In this context, the workshop aims to address some of the challenges faced by the national statistical systems in producing and using disaggregated data to monitor the sustainable development Goals and targets. The workshop is co-organized by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), UN-Women, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) and the Asian Development Bank. It will be held at United Nations Conference Centre (UNCC) in Bangkok, Thailand, from 28 to 30 January 2019.
