"We are a global network of governments, NGOs, and businesses working together to strengthen the inclusivity, trust, and innovation in the way that data is used to address the world’s sustainable development efforts. We work to bring the resources of national governments, independent non-profits, and private companies to bear on the world’s development data poverty.
Official Statistical Systems are the building block for understanding poverty and how to address it. The global partnership seeks to map data gaps at a national level.
But the world has become more complex. We can now ensure that data is of higher quality, more trustworthy, more understood, and more open.
So we bring the best data, analytical skills, and ideas to solve data problems—from using satellites to monitor agriculture efforts, to citizen engagement tools to understand sanitation requirements in villages in remote parts of the world. We work to ensure that governments are given the tools they need to ensure they leave no-one behind in these development efforts."
