The increased use of data to inform humanitarian response and risk management has led to more evidence-based approaches and more accurate contextual reflections. The sharing of public humanitarian data by the UN, lNGOs consortia, and research entities has made this possible and helped to minimize duplicative data collection. At the same time, multiple overlapping or piecemeal datasets sometimes add more noise than illumination. The quality and relevance of humanitarian data is directly tied to who is able to access and contribute to it.
This session aims to demonstrate what is available in terms of live data on humanitarian needs, operational, and security conditions and shine a light on the gaps and challenges facing humanitarian users, and a way forward in terms of principles for collaboration and quality standards. |
