During this Global Network Webinar we had with us Heather Page and Hong Xiao from United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) who talked about Data Storytelling & Data Visualization Toolkit. Storytelling is the best way to present data and share insights to inform, engage, and influence the audience. This valuable tool can be used in SDG and other data reporting to make sense of the data and add context, meaning and relevance for an audience. An essential component of effective data storytelling is data visualization. To support countries in developing and delivering engaging data visualizations across a range of outputs, UNSD developed an SDG and COVID-19 data visualization toolkit containing a set of SDG and COVID-19 related icons, along with templates for reports, infographics, social media and flyers. During this presentation, Ms. Hong Xiao discussed basic concepts with examples about data storytelling with a focus on analyzing the context and the audiences and developing a compelling narrative. Then, Ms. Heather Page introduced and provided an overview of the icons and other resources available in the Toolkit.
The Global Network of Data Officers and Statisticians aims to improve coordination and collaboration among peers and organizations, connect existing but not necessarily well-connected networks and initiatives, and provide and share information on global capacity development efforts. In the framework of the Global Network, UNSD organizes this series of webinars.
