Data as a force for public good (Chapter 2) [ENG]Descargar presentación [ENG]Data can be a force for public good by empowering individuals, holding governments accountable, and improving service delivery. However, gaps in the availability, quality, and usability of data are pervasive, particularly in low-income countries, preventing data from reaching their full potential.

Statistical Performance Indicators: A New Way to Measure Country Statistical Capacity [ENG]With rapid changes in the production and consumption of data, there is an urgent need for national statistical systems to transform and strengthen their capacity. To assess the performance of such systems, the World Bank has developed the Statistical Performance Indicators (SPI). By helping countries identify the strengths and weaknesses of their statistical systems, the SPI can guide decisions about investment priorities and help identify peer countries from which they might learn. The SPI includes a forward-looking framework to track progress in national statistical capacity and will replace the Statistical Capacity Indicators (SCI) that the World Bank has regularly published since 2004.

Data Infrastructure Policy: Ensuring equitable access (Chapter 5) [ENG]Descargar presentación [ENG]The digital character of modern data makes infrastructure a prerequisite for collecting, exchanging, storing, processing, and distributing data.

This seminar discusses existing barriers and the necessary data infrastructure policies that are needed to connect poor people and poor countries.
Data policies, laws, and regulations: Creating a trust environment (Chapter 6) [ENG]Descargar presentación [ENG]Creating a trust environment involves putting in place the policies, laws, regulations and technical standards to enable data to be effectively used, reused and shared, while safeguarding the data rights of parties that control the data to ensure they are not misused. The report takes a rights-based approach as the basis for safeguarding the fundamental rights of individuals in their personal data, while proposing a balance of interests to safeguard non-personal data, such as through the use of intellectual property rights. The analysis is supported by the findings of a new Global Data Regulation Survey, which finds that elements of the enabling legal and regulatory frameworks for trusted data use remain unevenly developed across select country income groups.
Competition Policy Challenges Posed by Data-Driven Businesses (Chapter 3/7) [ENG]Descargar presentación [ENG]Data play a central role in rapidly expanding platform-based business models, and these data-driven businesses pose complex challenges for competition policy. While they can drive pro-development market opportunities, their propensity for tipping towards entrenched positions of market power holds risks for exclusion of smaller rivals and exploitation of individuals. This seminar explores the issues facing policy makers globally on strengthening competition policies for the data-driven economy - both in terms of ex post competition enforcement and ex ante regulatory measures. It also presents findings from a new database on antitrust in the digital economy.
