Virtual Event:
Haiti Policy House is hosting a live webinar with Dan Foy, the U.S. business leader for global research/Analytics at Gallup, to examine how data collection has evolved in fragile states such as Haiti and South Sudan amid shifting technology, political pressure, and insecurity. The conversation will explore how Gallup overcomes core obstacles such as outdated census data, weak address systems, large displaced populations, and restricted access to areas under non-state armed group control, including much of Port-au-Prince.
