Cultivate collective efforts on data to leave no one behind, where we continue to develop disaggregation in data to
mainstream gender equality, integrate geospatial and statistical information, and define standards and tools to
disaggregate data by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability and geographic location, and other
characteristics;

Understand the world with data, where we continue to promote data literacy and empower the general public to use data
effectively and assist them to identify misinformation and abuse;

to address the huge data gap in informing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development and
measuring its progress, develop and promote the use of all data sources in accessible formats, including administrative-
based data through the use of modern technology, to close the existing world digital divide.

III. Call for commitments
To establish data partnerships, we need national statistical systems working together with the entire data ecosystem to

work as one community, and foster synergies and innovative practices with new data sources;

To produce data to leave no one behind, we need national statistical systems to collaborate with the entire data
ecosystem to work on easily used and replicated standards; innovative tools and citizen-driven data along with official
data to fill data gaps on the status and needs of people by income, sex, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability
and geographic location, and other characteristics;

To understand the world with data, we need Governments, the private sector and the media to present data in a timely,
open and impartial manner where any data with bias is clearly reported

IV. Conclusion

We strive to implement the Cape Town Global Action Plan, the Dubai Declaration and the Bern Data Compact for the
Decade of Action on the SDGs, and to continue to make progress on actions and commitments, which require us to

recognise each part we play in the data ecosystem is unique and irreplaceable but that together we are greater than the
sum of our parts.

We promise to advance the Cape Town Global Action Plan and Bern Data Compact for the Decade of Action on the
SDGs through good governance and a mutual understanding of the benefits and challenges of our shared data ecosystem,
and will proceed with a common voice to advocate for data and its place in public affairs; locally, nationally, sub-
regionally, regionally and globally.
