The primary objective of this side event is to bring governments, Development Partners (DP)s, UN entities, the private sector, and academia together to share best practices and exchange views on how to accelerate post COVID recovery using a collective data intelligence platform and create scope for collaboration within/among nations as well as to boost the taking of timely actions through a “data revolution” to ensure equal access to health services and social protection, jobs, and support for businesses.
During the side-event, participants will analyze specific case studies and strategy recommendations pertaining to:
- How to access data for targeting when compiling the country’s health and socio-economic response measures during Post –COVID recovery and, how to ensure that everyone is included?
- Which barriers keep people from being included in databases for access to infrastructure, employment, public services, jobs, and other socio-economic response measures?
- How can those who are excluded, marginalized, and vulnerable come into the fold? What are community initiatives that can help resolve this challenge? How can they be made more resilient to shocks and crises?
- What should be the role of Academia in supporting the governments to develop strategies and policies to collect and use data to take timely actions during the post-recovery period of COVID-19?
- How can public agencies, the private sector, telecommunication operators and academia work together to mobilize the true potential of the “data revolution” to leave no one behind during post-COVID-19 recovery?
- What are the effective avenues for international cooperation for capturing and using data for post- COVID-19 jobs?
