TOP1: Local Chapter Challenge

• started last Thursday, 16 July 2020

• 8 weeks to go

• 3 registrations, more to come

• For Updates and support: #correlaid-x-challenge

• Use of regional statistic data, which is provided openly by the state statistical offices and thanks to the data guide and a CorrelAid team, is easily available with just a few lines of code via a package in Python and R

  • Keep in mind that your project, your project results can be a potential door opener to address local NPOs
