The generation and dissemination of reliable and accessible #data are pivotal for #development, enabling informed decision-making across public and private sectors and fueling research and innovation.

Take #Paraguay as an example: the country has advanced its digital capabilities in statistics, achieving a score of 75.8/100 on the @WorldBank Statistical Performance Index.

This reflects its successful integration of meta and microdata within the National Institute of Statistics’ platform (@INE_Paraguay), which provides comprehensive access to data from censuses, surveys, and administrative records—essential tools for policymaking and development strategies.

There is a skew in global academic empirical research. Only around 50% of empirical papers are about low- or middle-income countries, despite these countries making up more than 80% of the world population.
