At the first UN World Data Forum in 2017, the Cape Town Global Action Plan for Sustainable Development Data (CTGAP) was launched with the aim to provide a framework for discussion on, and planning and implementation of statistical capacity building necessary to achieve the scope and intent of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Activity around the third Forum held last month in Bern, Switzerland continues to show the diversity, dynamism, and dedication of this community to finding solutions through data and statistics to drive sustainable development. Some of this spirit was encapsulated in the Bern Data Compact launched at the Forum, together with the launch of the World Bank’s Global Data Facility and the Bern Network's Clearinghouse for Financing Development Data.
