In November 2019, Data-Pop Alliance, in partnership with ECLAC and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), conducted its first technical workshop in Rio de Janeiro, tailored specifically to the needs of the staff at IBGE. The goal was to help them to build and strengthen internal capacities to leverage web data collection and analysis in their projects, specifically by delving into web scraping and API’s interaction techniques. ​The workshop emerged as part of the broader training program carried out with ECLAC in the Latin America and Caribbean region: “Big Data for Measuring the Digital Economy”.
