Abstract

There is a growing trend in the development of technical and institutional capacities in the communication areas of National Statistical Offices (NSOs). The increased relevance of data communicators has generated transformations in the organizational structures of NSOs in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as the adoption of good practices and the strengthening of human resources in these areas. At the regional level, CEPEI and Paris21 have developed a Community of Practice on Data-Driven Communication for peer-to-peer exchange to share success stories and challenges, and to establish professional networks, involving close contacts with data journalists and civil society. In this presentation, the main lessons from this experience will be shared with the aim of contributing to the work of communicators in the fight against disinformation.
