This session will look at recent regional initiatives related to Data Skills, Urban Development, Gender, and Policy which focus on sustainable development, with an emphasis placed on gender inclusivity and effective policy, from organizations spanning Palestine, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia. Speakers and facilitators will aim to place these initiatives within the wider global conversation surrounding the production, management, and utilization of open data in helping to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. The session will then focus on facilitating discussions on a future open data agenda for the region at large with a strong focus on streamlining regional efforts and affecting sustainable impact across the region.
