Overcoming Blindspots: Making Data Work for Children on the Move

Virtual Panel Discussion

Please share this invite with your networks.

Fifty million children are on the move today due to migration or displacement, but we often lack reliable data on who these children are, where they live, and what they need. Without access to the right information, governments and organizations are hard-pressed to deliver essential services and ensure the safety of this vulnerable population.

Join us May 7th, 9:00-10:30am ET, for a virtual panel discussion between practitioners and funders to discuss how data on children on the move is or isn’t meeting their needs and how funders can play a role in encouraging better data collection and use to support these children. AidData will present top-line findings from a new policy brief on the current data landscape for children on the move, and together we will explore the most promising avenues to ensure the data produced is fit for purpose.
