While August may be known as a quieter month in the workplace, development data and statistics rarely get the day off. This month, leaders gathered in Chile for the Statistical Conference of the Americas of the ECLAC and in Bangkok for the Committee on Statistics of the ESCAP. Governments, international organizations, and civil society organizations are also preparing for the UN General Assembly where Open Data Watch will be teaming up PARIS21, UN Women, and Data2X for a special side event on gender data financing.
