How can we enhance data collection for the SDGs?

Improving data collection for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) involves leveraging technology, engaging local communities, and ensuring data transparency. What specific areas are you interested in?

I'm particularly interested in using technology for data collection.

Great! Technologies like mobile apps, remote sensing, and big data analytics can significantly improve data collection. Have you considered any specific technologies?

I've heard about mobile apps. How effective are they?

Mobile apps can be very effective as they allow real-time data collection and can reach a wider audience. They also facilitate easier reporting and monitoring. Would you like examples of successful implementations?

Yes, that would be helpful!

One example is the use of mobile surveys in rural areas to collect data on health and education. Organizations like UNICEF have successfully used this method to gather timely information.
