Back in February, the Collaborative on Citizen Data went to Bogotá, Colombia, to co-host the workshop “Data in Action: Connecting with Citizens through Data” with Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística - DANE Colombia. 📈🌎 Over two days, 80+ participants from civil society, government agencies, and representatives from the national statistical system engaged in interactive sessions highlighting the transformative power and importance of citizen data. Colombia is setting an example for other countries by pioneering a maturity model that will support the integration of citizen data into the national statistical system, aligned with the standards of the Copenhagen Framework. This is an excellent case of how collaboration between civil society and national statistical offices can pave the way for stronger, more inclusive data systems. 👏 A special thanks to DANE’s Citizen Data Base Group, Colombia’s civil society organizations, and other participants driving this work forward.
