Ready for the ultimate GeOnG challenge? From emergency to development: bridging the information gap!
On Monday evening, the French Development Agency (AFD) is inviting you all take part in a collaborative challenge!
Come and join us for an evening of creative activities and group challenges around the theme of data sharing between the humanitarian and development sectors, and help us gather a series of recommendations to bridge the information gap between the two sectors!
The evening will be facilitated by Maeve de France and Martin Noblecourt from the CartONG team, with the support of friendly experts on technologies and data sharing standards, open data tools and initiatives, and also, representatives from AFD and H2H organizations. They will help you navigate the evening and take on the challenge.
No need to bring your computer or tablet! Just bring your thinking cap, some friendly competitiveness, a solid appetite (yes, there’ll be a buffet!) and a bucket of good mood, and meet us at 6:30pm on the 1st floor!

CartONG wishes to promote its project EducAuRA, objective 2030 - implemented as part of the European programme "Frame, Voice, Report!" - which aims at raising awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals amongst the citizens of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - a theme often encounters in mainstream news coverage yet not well-known and understood by the general public.

The workshop will be ran in French but live translation will be provided by our volunteers for those interested.
20h00 - 21h30 - Conference-debate "Interwoven stories on measuring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals" (in French): a panel of experts will debate and share their experience about measuring progress towards the sustainable development goals, focusing on the ODD 6 “Clean water and sanitation”.
