Join FAO at the United Nations World Data Forum 2021!



FAO Statistics will be featured in a number of events at the United Nations World Data Forum 2021, scheduled to take place from 3 to 6 October 2021 in Bern, Switzerland in a hybrid format.

The World Data Forum brings together data leaders from national and international statistical systems, academia, business community and civil society, among other stakeholder groups, to foster exchange of ideas, showcase innovations, identify solutions, discuss future strategies, and provide mutual learning opportunities. Both the virtual and in person versions of the third World Data Forum will be organized around six thematic areas<http://bit.ly/t_areas>.

This 2021 edition is expected to have several key outcomes, such as:

  *   Showcasing progress made in implementing the data revolution and the Cape Town Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data.
  *   Demonstrating the value of data and how it can be utilized to improve lives of people.
  *   Providing contextual information that helps make sense of today’s abundance of data by strengthening data and statistical literacy and promoting best practices for data in journalism.
  *   Drawing attention to data privacy and security challenges and identifying areas where data standards and data governance mechanisms need to be updated to remain effective.



Below is the list of the events where FAO will participate.

Session: TA2.13
Positioning Household Surveys in the Next Decade
Organiser(s): Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Household Surveys (ISWGHS)

The Inter-Secretariat Working Group on Household Surveys (ISWGHS) has prepared a position paper that covers discussion on the future of household surveys and priority areas for countries to take to build a household survey system that is efficient, cost effective and resilient to shocks such as COVID-19. The session provides a platform for ISWGHS to present its position paper and showcase innovative approaches taken by its members; and discuss plans to help countries in adopting those new approaches.

Wednesday, October 6th, 8:30 AM-9:30 AM
Session: TA5.09
Microdata Use, Dissemination, and Emerging Issues
Organiser(s): Open Data Watch (ODW); United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF); United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD-DESA); Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO)

This session will explore the ways that microdata are critical to assessing development issues and the challenges of microdata dissemination for both users and data producers. It will present the experience of national and international statistical offices in disseminating survey and census files and examples from data users of the benefits obtained from public access to microdata. As the data ecosystem is changing, this session will also address emerging issues around microdata: how non-official data sources affect the use and possible misuse of microdata; new disclosure control and access methods; and standards for interoperability among data sources.

Wednesday, October 6th, 1:45 PM-2:45 PM
Session: TA2.15
From the Ground, Up. Improving Geospatial Modelling through a Collaborative Approach to Ground-Truthing (virtual session only)
Organiser(s): World Bank (WB); The 50x2030 Initiative to Close the Agricultural Data Gap

The session will showcase innovative work that is tackling key challenges for augmenting satellite data and other tech-based data collection methods (e.g. sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles - UAV) by using them in combination with ground data. That will include (a) using ground data to improve crop and yield maps at high resolution in smallholder production systems; (b) collecting objective plant, weather, and soil data through low-cost multiple-sensor stations; (c) performing lab-grade soil analysis in-field with handheld sensors; (d) setting-up an open infrastructure to make ground truthing datasets accessible at scale; and (e) linking traditional and spatial data for official statistics. While centered on applications around agricultural development, food systems and nutrition, the session will spark a broader discussion on the way forward for data integration, as most technical and governance problems around data integration are not sector-specific.
