On April 9, 2025, alongside the Population Association of America (PAA) Conference in Washington, DC, the "Novel Approaches to Poverty and Population Mapping" workshop convened over 80 experts from across the geospatial, socioeconomic, and development sectors. The workshop was organized by CIESIN at Columbia University with the POPGRID Data Collaborative and with support from George Washington University.
CIESIN Associate Director for Science Applications, Dana R Thomson, organized an interactive workshop with the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN) in Kingston, Jamaica. The workshop was designed to foster a technical exchange among STATIN, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the POPGRID Data Collaborative, with two goals: (1) Enhancing STATIN’s modeling techniques for census non-response and (2) Advancing POPGRID’s collaboration with traditional statistical agencies.
