How to harness private data towards meeting the SDGs? The need for data stewards


This blog was written by Stefaan Verhulst of The GovLab at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering. The UN World Data Forum provides a great opportunity to review, validate and find ways to make data collaboratives more systemic and sustainable. I hope you will join us at our panel on “data stewardship in action” that will look into options towards reducing barriers and unlocking beneficial partnerships between the private and the public sectors to return value to the population, directly improving quality of life.
