Abstract

While some progress has been made towards the implementation of the Cape Town Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data over the past five years, a stumbling block for many low- and middle-income countries has been the urgent need for more resources to strengthen their national statistical systems. There is an urgent need to make financing for development data and statistics smarter, ensuring both the mobilisation of additional domestic resources and a more efficient approach to external assistance that would enable existing resources to go further and more effectively leverage new resources. It is in this context that the Bern Network on Financing Data for Development, a multi-stakeholder alliance created in 2019 by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the Swiss Federal Statistical Office to promote more and smarter funding for development data, launched an innovative, free online platform that development cooperation recipients, providers and others can use to close the stark data financing gap: the Clearinghouse for Financing Development Data.
