Humanitarian Data Forum: Facing the Challenges of Data Driven Decision Making

Humanitarians are operating under unprecedented constraints and complexity. This session of the Humanitarian Data Forum reflects on the experience of decision-makers and their efforts to incorporate data into their work. With the proliferation of data and analysis, how do we decipher the signal from the noise, use creative approaches, and strengthen the throughline from data to decision-making? Panelists include Aseel Zidan, Department Manager, Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics; Derk Segaar, Director of International Assistance, the Netherlands Red Cross; Monica Nthiga, Regional Director - Eastern & Southern Africa, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap; and Paola Emerson, Head of Office, OCHA Mozambique. Moderated by Ben Parker, Officer in Charge, UN Black Sea Grain Initiative. Humanitarian Data Forum, The Hague, 12-14 June 2024.
