Overview

In order to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, we need inclusive data that highlights those who are marginalized and at risk of falling behind so that we can act. Sightsavers has been expanding its work to collect, analyze, and use inclusive data to drive better decisions, track progress, and facilitate knowledge and learning since 2014.

As a champion of the Inclusive Data Charter, we developed our first action plan in 2018 outlining our commitments to strengthen our work on inclusive data in a variety of areas. Since then, our data work has evolved. For example, we are increasingly looking at the intersection of disability and other inclusive data dimensions in our projects and programs, have launched new thematic strategies in 2021, and have strengthened advocacy and influencing work on inclusive data at both the national and global levels.

Increasing our knowledge and expertise on inclusive data remains a strategic priority for Sightsavers, and strengthening the collection, analysis, and use of inclusive data is critical to delivering our health and inclusion thematic strategies. We are updating our Inclusive Data Charter action plan, which will be re-launched externally in 2023, as well as developing an internal work plan that outlines our collectively owned, cross-organizational inclusive data goals and objectives.

The Project Manager-Inclusive Data position combines interests and experience in project management, international development, social inclusion, data, and working with multidisciplinary geographically dispersed stakeholders – all with the goal of expanding and strengthening knowledge, practice, and learning on inclusive data in accordance with our organization’s objectives and commitments to sustainable development.
