Silvana Fumega

I am an international expert in the governance of public data and inclusive data practices, with over 15 years of global experience. I work at the intersection of data, policy, and inclusion, with a focus on how data is governed, produced, and used in public decision-making, including AI governance, public sector data reforms, and community-driven data initiatives.

Over the past decade, my work has evolved alongside the data agenda itself. I have led and co-designed global initiatives such as the Global Data Barometer, which measures how countries govern and share data for the public good, and Data Against Feminicide, an initiative that supports a transnational community of practice developing data infrastructures to document and challenge gender-based violence.

I collaborate with civil society organizations, international institutions, researchers, and public officials to strengthen data ecosystems, build meaningful capacities, and co-create evidence that supports accountability, care, and structural change. Since 2023, I have worked independently with organizations around the world..
