It was a great pleasure to welcome more than a thousand participants from around the world to the PARIS21 Annual Meetings. This year’s virtual meetings taking place from 29 March-01 April 2021 featured eight sessions that explored paths towards data as a public good and means to build resilience in a post-pandemic world.
Over 35 leading data, statistics and development professionals, representing a wide range of fields and institutions, were featured in the event. Thank you to our panellists and audience for a highly engaging series of discussions about innovative approaches to advancing data literacy and training in the digital age, strengthening legal frameworks and participation and scaling up financing for data and statistics, among other things.
The recordings of the sessions will be available to watch on the event platform in English, French & Spanish. They can also be downloaded on the OECD Web TV webpage.
