Data Honeymoon in the non-profit sector

A world where knowledge creates power

for the many, not the few.

A world where data frees us — to make

informed choices about how we live,

what we buy and who gets our vote.

A world where information and insights

are accessible — and apparent — to

everyone.

“

Data Honeymoon in the non-profit sector

We also call for a data revolution for

sustainable development, with a new

international initiative to improve the quality of

statistics and information available to citizens.

We should actively take advantage of new

technology, crowdsourcing, and improved

connectivity to empower people with

information on the progress towards the

targets.
