This work aims to obtain a general characterization of the Colombian data ecosystem regarding official statistics, identify its main actors and legal instruments, and learn about data trends and priorities, exploring their link with the SDGs and the current statistical development agenda. The recommendations of this document will be a roadmap to support the government and policymakers in statistics, information and data, strengthening and consolidating mature data ecosystems to address the demands of the 2030 Agenda.
The State of the Data Ecosystem in Colombia
November 23, 2022
“Cepei, with the support of the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (GPSDD), mapped actors and data priorities to provide recommendations for the progress, needs, and future lines of action for strengthening data capacities in Colombia.”
Principales hallazgos
The Colombian data ecosystem goes beyond official statistics to include data produced, exchanged, and used by the public and private sectors, civil society organizations, and multilateral organizations for various purposes.
A greater articulation of the SDG agenda among the actors of the Colombian data ecosystem is needed. Specifically, greater dissemination and coordination of the progress, procedures and methodologies used for measuring, monitoring, and evaluating these indicators in the country is required.
It is recommended that the data ecosystem be supported by well-institutionalized governance structures that foster cooperation among ecosystem actors and avoid duplication of activities and tasks.
