UK team
- Development sprint under way looking at improvements to the data tables in the NRP and what changes are required to add geo codes and maps (and exploring the work Brock has already started on this as a possible solution).
US team
- No new technical developments
- Orlando is working with an UN accredited NGO, IDEAS for US, to advance SDG reporting and progress. Current efforts appear to cover SDG 11 and 13.
CODE team
- In discussions with Enviroatlas team at EPA to display subnational data for a few environmental indicators
- Created automated data validation (not yet merged)
- Developed prototype to allow for external data inputs (not yet merged)
Country interest in open-source code
- UK team had an audio meeting with German Federal Statistical Office re NRP – they’re exploring open-source as well as other solutions. They’ve asked for more information about the US hosting on .data.gov (Phil Ashlock has been copied into the email chain). Next week they will be making a decision regarding which solution to adopt - we are providing further details including a short demo of our NRP.
- US State in conversations with GPSDD to expand GPSDD to southern and eastern Africa (Uganda, Malawi) and may follow up with NRP discussions
GPSDD DataFest Conference in Bristol (March) Three sessions of interest:
- UK is running an extra session at ONS on March 19, primarily for strategic partners (including Ghana and Rwanda). The afternoon will focus on our NRP.
- There will also be an SDGs zone (wider than NRP) at the much larger session for delegates at ONS on March 21. Larry and Greg have been in the loop on emails from Emily about these.
- CODE is hosting a workshop on SDG reporting on March 22
World Data Forum in Dubai (October)
- UK submitted a session: a ‘clone your own’ type demo of how quick it is for a country to set up a copy of the github-based NRP.
- CODE submitted two sessions: SDG reporting, and a ‘design for your data user’ workshop
- US submitted session on youth engagement and data (working with SDSN Youth)
Slack channel
- UK is considering using slack to track technical discussions, and planning to test over next few weeks. A few concerns: some govt departments have restricted access to tools and can’t use Slack on their professional devices, less public than Github, which has been useful for others to track/comment on developments (eg. UNSD on SDMX, or countries looking at dev pipelines), and extra burden of monitoring another comms channel.
- Discuss engagement with additional countries (Mexico, Germany) during next sync-up call
- CODE to update on subnational reporting conversations with Stanford
