Observer Research Foundation is pleased to invite you for the event, Better Data for Better Health — Developing an Indian Approach on Indicators to Achieve Sustainable Development Goals, to be held on July 25, 10.30 am to 1.30 pm at Longchamp, Taj Mahal Hotel, New Delhi.
A major challenge to health policy-making in India is the insufficient district level data for customised and evidence-based planning. Better data and statistics help track progress, strengthen accountability and support evidence-based decisions. A data revolution is needed in order to draw on existing and new sources of data to fully integrate statistics into decision making — to promote open access to, and use of, data and ensure increased support for statistical systems.
As part of the Foundation’s work on the Sustainable Development Goals, this event will kick off ORF’s Health Forum by engaging senior policymakers from the Central Government, representatives of the industry, civil society, international organisations, academia and media. A panel discussion at the event will deliberate upon how quality data and a robust national indicator framework can help India achieve its health and nutrition goals quicker.
Please find attached the agenda for the event.
We request you to confirm your participation to Priyanka Shah <priyan...@orfonline.org> at the earliest.
Looking forward to your participation.
Warm Regards,
Team ORF
