The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Centre for Humanitarian Data is excited to host our first-ever Humanitarian Data Forum in The Hague from 12-14 June 2024.
This in-person event will mark the ten-year anniversary of the Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX), an open platform for sharing data across crises and organizations. The forum will convene UN agencies, international and local NGOs, governments and donors, the private sector and academia to shape the future of humanitarian data.

Forum themes & objectives
The event will be shaped around four themes:
Strengthening Our Data Ecosystem
Integrating Advanced Analysis
Advancing the Responsible Use of Data and Technology
Building Partnerships and Capacity
How will we adapt data collection, management and sharing to
meet the evolving needs of humanitarians and those we seek to assist?
How can we deepen the use of analysis and data science in
decision making to get ahead of crises?
How will we ensure the safe, ethical and effective use of
data
and analysis across response contexts?
What alliances will be required to achieve the future we
want?
How do we establish the skills we need at scale?
Our broader objectives are to:
Collaborate and Connect
Learn Together
Showcase Innovation
By bringing together the global humanitarian data community,
we
will strengthen our relationships and build trust.
By reflecting on what is working well and areas to improve,
we
will surface opportunities to evolve our collective work.
By sharing the best of our community, we will understand and
promote new ideas in our sector.
