First weekly team meeting of the Asia and the Pacific Data Integration Community of Practice (DI-CoP) was organized on Tuesday 12 May 2020, with around 30 participants from four countries plus ESCAP, The Pacific Community (SPC), UNICEF, and UNSD.

In this meeting Ms. Afsaneh Yazdani reviewed objectives of the DI-CoP and explained how different tasks of members assist achieving the objectives. Then Ms. Jessica Gardner presented a report on users’ activities since the launch of the DI-CoP on 23 April 2020. The report showed members have started using the platform, though contribution is still very limited. Finally, Mr. Alick Nyasulu introduced work arrangements; being agreed by meeting attendees.

Members were encouraged to accelerate their contributions by:

  1. Volunteering to review sections of guidelines
  2. Volunteering to have presentation on relevant experience at weekly team meetings
  3. Taking welcome survey
  4. Updating profiles
