The Asia and Pacific Collaborative – Global Network has announced its transition from Yammer (Viva Engage) to LinkedIn to improve accessibility and expand its reach. The group welcomes individuals engaged in or committed to advancing data and statistics across the Asia and Pacific region. This includes national statisticians, data officers in government and development agencies, researchers, policymakers, and others dedicated to promoting evidence-based decision-making. The shift to a more widely used platform will allow data and statistics professionals in the region to connect with a broader audience.

The Collaborative has been a key platform for peer engagement, knowledge-sharing, and innovation among statisticians in the Asia and Pacific region. The new LinkedIn group will continue to support this mission by hosting discussions, sharing best practices, and facilitating conversations about data and statistics.

This move represents more than just a change in platform; it signals the Collaborative's commitment to deeper engagement and a wider impact. In addition to the LinkedIn transition, the Collaborative will maintain its key programming through DASH Teams, the Stats Café series, and thematic webinars, reinforcing its commitment to a connected and forward-thinking statistical community.
