Welcome to the United Nations
UN DESA/DPIDG is organizing an Open Forum on Adopting Data Governance Framework: From Silos to Ecosystem as part of the Internet Governance Forum 2022. The Open Forum seeks to address existing challenges and gaps in digital data governance, data management and cooperation, focusing on enhancing the institutional capacities of countries to utilize, manage and govern data in a comprehensive, objective and evidence-based manner, through regional and global cooperation. The aim is to build the awareness about the institutional capacities of government officials and stakeholders in countries, especially those in Africa and the Asia Pacific region. Hybrid interaction will be facilitated, including through in-person and/or virtual participation of national/local government and non-government stakeholders from selected countries in Africa and Asia Pacific. The Open Forum will take place on 1 December in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and online from 7.45 to 8.45am UTC. More information is available here.
