Empowering Change: Harnessing Citizen-Generated Data for Social Justice

Introduction:

Jointly organized by the Statistics Division and Division of Inclusive Social Development, DESA, the side event aims to explore the impact of citizen engagement across the data value chain, for highlighting social issues, shaping policy, and driving change, particularly in marginalized and underrepresented communities. The event will also provide a comprehensive overview of the Copenhagen Framework on Citizen data, a major effort initiated by the UN Statistics Division with its partners within the Collaborative on Citizen Data, to harness the power of citizen-generated data to foster social justice and reduce inequality. The event will also call on partners to join the effort to implementing the Framework.

More specifically, the event will:

• Foster an exchange and solicit feedback on the Copenhagen Framework on Citizen Data and the roadmap for its implementation
• Share experience on the importance of citizen data for policy and impact
• Broaden the outreach of the Framework, seeking interest and involvement from diverse stakeholders keen on leveraging the power of citizen-generated data for meaningful and sustainable social change.
