Session will be of interest to national, regional and international data users and producers of statistical, administrative and geospatial datasets interested in applying and improving interoperability between these datasets. The use of common frameworks, standards, methods and practices to enable this will be a key feature. The session will examine what interoperability and integration of these datasets means for linking with policy and other decision making, providing data for the SDG process and indicators, the requirements for capability development and practical issues and examples of applying these methods to statistical collections such as Censuses.
Main outcome from session:
Increased national and regional interest in enhancing capability and production of integrated statistical and geospatial information, and greater engagement in developing these mechanisms through the UN intergovernmental processes.
Greater application of the principles of Global Statistical Geospatial Framework and related methodologies, leading to enhanced availability and interoperability of small area disaggregation of data from Censuses and other data sources to inform the SDG process and indicators.
