From July 9 to July 18, world leaders came together to conduct the largest annual check-in around the Sustainable Development Goals.

During this meeting, called the High-Level Political Forum, 47 countries presented Voluntary National Reviews describing their nation’s progress on the Global Goals.

Accurate and inclusive data is essential to tracking and making progress towards achieving the SDGs.

On July 26 from 10am — 11am ET, +SocialGood will partner with Data2X, the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development Data, and the Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL) to look at the ways technology is being used to track progress and support development. Join the conversation on Twitter with #SocialGoodTech.

Join this month’s #SocialGoodTech chat at 10am ET on July 26!
