Indigenous data sovereignty: The future of evidence-based policy in Australia and New Zealand

This event explored Indigenous data sovereignty and its implications for the future of evidence-based policy making for Indigenous communities in Australia and New Zealand. It examined how data concerning Indigenous Peoples is collected, governed, and used, with a particular focus on strengthening practices at the regional and subnational level. Discussions highlighted approaches to improving the quality, relevance, and accessibility of data, while ensuring that Indigenous Peoples have a meaningful role in decision-making over data that concerns them. The event also considered how regional governments can use Indigenous-led and culturally appropriate data to design more effective, place-based policies.
