All- we are having an Ignite Co-creative innovation session related to project 8 on Thursday 10-12 in the ignite zone. If you are interested in participating please let me know! We have 3-4 spots left!
Project 8 is part of the broad "data revolution," called for in the UN's Post-2015 agenda: improving our access to (and the quality of) data in development. Learn more about this data revolution from a new Expert Advisory Panel set up by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon here.
One of the primary drivers of Project 8 is to support the UN's Post-2015 development agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals that will be adopted in 2015. Learn more about the UN's Sustainable Development Agenda here.
