This work aims to obtain a general characterization of data ecosystems for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in LA countries and identify general data trends and priorities, which are not necessarily part of the traditional statistical agenda. As well as determine where international cooperation and financing efforts should be channeled to meet the demands of the 2030 Agenda.
State of Data Ecosystems in Latin America
November 9, 2022
“Cepei, in partnership with the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data (GPSDD), conducted this study on the state of data ecosystems in Latin America (LA) to provide recommendations for the progress, needs, and future lines of action, to build data capacity in the region.”
Principales hallazgos
Data ecosystems in the region are mainly disjointed, and the actions necessary to improve their operation are still to be positioned within the priorities of key actors.
Developing a data ecosystem tends to be a mission sought after by data producers but delayed in the stages of higher stability and resource availability. Thus, conditions that enable innovation must be created.
Intensive use of administrative records and geospatial data is among the strategic priorities of data producers and is the more feasible innovation framework for more mature ecosystems.
