Journey of a thousand miles begins with one step! Last week @SyriaUnfpa and partners took a bold first step to explore solutions to strengthen Syria’s #population #data systems. After 14 years of conflict, massive population displacements and limited investment in robust data systems, now is the time to rebuild #Syria statistical system & a culture of data driven planning and decision making. #UNFPA #Syria brought together key national institutions, @UNESCWA and WorldPop in coordination with the Planning and Statistical Commission. Delighted to have witnessed the beginning of a promising partnership.

🚀 Exciting news! In partnership with the UK’s ONS & funded by FCDO, we're introducing automated mapping tech to Malawi’s National Statistics Office. Streamlining the 2028 #census for fast, cost-efficient, and accurate enumeration. #DataForGood #Malawi worldpop.org/blog/worldpop-…

🚀Pioneering data for Somalia’s future! WorldPop, SNBS & UNFPA are training Somali statisticians in geospatial tools to map pre‑census areas in key districts. Helping build a modern census from the ground up. #DataForDevelopment #Somalia #Census #PreEA 🔗worldpop.org/blog/supportin…
