Dear Colleagues,

Today marks the start of a week that is centred on data and knowledge. Data
can be seen as a basis to create information and develop knowledge.
Although not necessarily a linear process, data, information and knowledge
can result into wisdom and deeper insights.

The Global Knowledge for Development Conference
<http://giplatform.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4fd1ca1d5793b4d797ce48eb0&id=5a85b2bf04&e=5c004f3770>
-
today and tomorrow (3-4 April) - will review and advance knowledge
management practices in the field of sustainable development. The
conference will discuss a wide range of issues including the JIU
Report on *Knowledge
Management in the United Nations System*, inaugurate the K4D Partnership,
and explore good practices in cross-sectoral knowledge management.

Zooming in from knowledge to data, DiploFoundation is organising a Roundtable
on Data Diplomacy
<http://giplatform.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=4fd1ca1d5793b4d797ce48eb0&id=59c56e64ad&e=5c004f3770>
on
Wednesday, 5th April (see programme

supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland. The roundtable
will explore the impact of statistics and big data on diplomacy and
international affairs. If you are interested in participating, write to Ms
Barbara Rosen Jacobson (barbarar at diplomacy.edu) for more information.
