In an increasingly data-driven world, the effective utilization of data has become crucial for
informed decision-making in policy formulation and sustainable development. Recognizing the need to
build a better data and official statistics ecosystem that promotes innovation, inclusivity, and
maximizes the value of data, we’re organizing a National Data Forum. This forum will serve as a
platform for fostering collaboration, exchanging knowledge, and establishing partnerships to enhance
the utilization of data for better decision-making and sustainable development in the State of
Qatar.
The main objectives of Doha Data Forum are:
- Promotes Innovation: Foster a culture of innovation by promoting the development and application
of data-driven solutions for addressing national challenges in various sectors, considering the
recommendations of the UN statistical commission and CAPE Town Declaration.
- Enhance Inclusivity: Ensure the inclusion and participation of all stakeholders, including
government entities, private sector organizations, civil society, academia and research centers,
to collectively harness the potential of data and address societal issues.
- Maximize the Value of Data: Explore methods to effectively collect, analyze, interpret, and
disseminate data to improve decision-making processes, thereby enhancing policy formulation and
sustainable development initiatives.
- Strengthen Partnerships: Facilitate collaborations and partnerships between different
stakeholders to promote data-sharing, knowledge exchange, and capacity-building for better data
management practices.
