In the past we explored the possible positive impact of convening data users and producers along thematic or utilitarian lines as data communities and how these data communities can form national multi-stakeholder partnerships on development data. We have also explored how convening domain experts to address data availability and dissemination in order to address the challenge of measuring progress against regionally agreed indicators could help support policy and resource mobilization to strengthen data and statistics ecosystems.

LDRI shall continue to apply multi-stakeholder spaces in this way as opportunities to catalyse action through dialogue and support inclusive policy processes to support sustainable development and strengthening of the African data ecosystem.
