The UN World Data Forum in 2023 will promote four main Thematic Areas (TAs) intended to provide a basic organizational structure for the programme. The individual TAs are not meant to be mutually exclusive as they contain cross-cutting themes, such as “innovation”, “leave no one behind”, and “partnership”, needed to drive inclusive and trustworthy data systems. The TAs individually contain the important issues and pressing actions expressed by the global data and statistical community to serve as a rallying call for programme proposals with practical solutions and hands-on experiences on these issues.
TA 1 Data integration and leveraging of various data sources and methodologies to ensure visibility and voice for everyone
TA 2 Adding value to data through better analysis and communication to ensure full use of data for bettering lives through the agency, respect, and inclusion of everyone
TA 3 Developing the principles of stewardship within the data ecosystem to balance the full value from data use with the protection of privacy and data rights
TA 4 Supporting global, regional, national and sub-national data ecosystems in the implementation of the Cape Town Global Action Plan including sustainable finance for data and statistics programmes at all levels of organization

[*Note from HIFA moderator (NPW): Thank you Senkyire and congratulations to you, Richard and everyone who is involved in this important event. Over the past few years Richard has helped us recognise the importance of access to personal medical records as part of the informaiton that every person needs to protect their own health and the health of others. We look forward to hear how this develops. We also look forward to welcome many new HIFA members from China.
