Is There Any Activity Connected to GIVAS?

Forum Thread: Is Anything Happening Around 'GIVAS'?

This thread asks the community to share their views on the 'GIVAS' initiative and whether the public API project has any related work underway. So far the discussion contains just one post, dated 17 Dec, 2009.

In the opening post, chrisgnicholas asks whether others have encountered the 'GIVAS' initiative featured on the Voices of the Vulnerable site, and whether the public API team is active in this area. The poster also suggests that, if a modest amount of internal UN funding were available for research, UN-STATS could join in some innovative experimentation.

You can visit the referenced initiative directly at Voices of the Vulnerable, or head back to the Forum to take part in the discussion.
