"This roundtable will critically examine the politics of data, results and evidence in the post-2015 development agenda, with particular emphasis on Goal 3 'Quality Education and Lifelong Learning' of the UN High-Level Panel Report published in May 2013."
"The UN High-Level Panel Report published in May 2013 has called for “a new data revolution” to eradicate extreme poverty and promote sustainable development. The improvement of data and statistics through a global partnership is presented as essential in order to formulate evidence-based policies and monitor progress towards the suggested 12 universal goals and 54 associated targets."
"The event will be preceded by a book launch on China's aid and soft power in Africa by Prof. Kenneth King (Professor Emeritus, University of Edinburgh, and NORRAG)." [Abstract: Site editorÂ’s information]
