The session aspires to identify ways of improving the value that the WOPs community can get out of the data produced not only for accountability to donors but also for more and better WOPs. Key actors will discuss data and knowledge needs, and avenues for collaboration. GWOPA will present the Global WOPs Observatory as a joint- initiative by GWOPA and IHE, in collaboration with a consultative group of key stakeholders in the sector. The initiative will work to ensure that WOPs data and knowledge works for a higher impact of WOPs Globally. As a core part of the Global WOPs Observatory GWOPA will present the WOP´s Portal, an integrated database for WOPs practice and its functionalities for Programmes and Platforms users, among others.
