Data integration approaches are becoming increasingly popular among official statisticians and data producers; however, more institutional and technical capacity is required to fully realise their potential. To strengthen the capacity of statistical systems in Asia and the Pacific, ESCAP has released the Asia-Pacific Guidelines to Data Integration for Official Statistics and launched the Data Integration Community of Practice, a forum for sharing relevant knowledge and experience and learning. Furthermore, in 2022, ESCAP, in collaboration with the National Statistics Office (NSO) of Nepal, initiated a project to implement a tailored approach in Nepal to improve the capacity of the National Statistical System (NSS) to integrate data and produce better data for measuring Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicators. This Stats Brief provides an overview of the project and the technical advisory and capacity-building support provided to the NSO of Nepal and its data partners.

Asia-Pacific Stats café series, "Reinvigorating the SDGs through gender and inclusive data: Harnessing the power of networks", on Tuesday 30 May 2023, from 11:30am to 12:45pm, Bangkok time (UTC+7).
The Stats Cafe aims to provide an overview of the current state of gender statistics within the Asia-Pacific region. The session will also showcase innovative strategies, opportunities, and relationships current members have built through participation in the Gender Data Network (GDN) activities, particularly in the Africa region, and will discuss the value proposition of the expansion of such a network to the Asia-Pacific region. By participating in this session attendees will learn more about and appreciate the:
- State of gender statistics in the Asia-Pacific region, including opportunities for improvement and collaboration;
- Importance of cross-country exchange in scaling innovative gender data collection, analysis, and dissemination strategies;
- Value of cohort experiences that facilitate continued professional and personal development; and
- Impact of the GDN and possibilities for potential expansion to the Asia-Pacific region.
