The UN, its agencies, and the Swiss government are leading a series of preparatory conferences do discuss the agenda of the upcoming UN World Data Forum. The UN Brief interviewed participants from the private sector as well as UN agencies and governments to look at some of the issues on the table. The UN Brief’s objective is to add to the discourse by hearing directly from the representatives of multilateral bodies, government officials, and private sector actors.

Mr. MacFeely has published extensively on the subject of data gathering and assessment for populating the indicators of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
