UNdata: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Access aggregated statistical databases from the United Nations system to support your research and data analysis needs.
UNdata is a centralized platform that provides access to aggregated statistical databases collected from across the United Nations system. It serves as a hub for various digital resources and institutional support systems that provide the foundation for evidence-based research.
Who it's for
This resource is open to anyone. There are no specific eligibility requirements or membership restrictions, meaning researchers, students, or members of the public can all access the information provided.
What you get
You gain access to aggregated statistical databases compiled from the many different agencies within the United Nations system. These datasets provide a wide range of international information, offering the high-quality, open-access data required for academic, professional, and institutional research projects.
What it costs you
Using this platform is entirely free. There are no fees or subscription costs required to access the statistical databases provided through the portal.
The catch to know
While the data is comprehensive, the website's user interface is dated. This means navigating the visual menus might feel less modern than other contemporary websites. If you are performing very large queries or need to pull massive amounts of information for a complex project, you should use the API (a way for different software programs to communicate) instead of the standard web interface to ensure efficiency.
How to apply
- Visit the official UNdata portal.
- Navigate through the various databases provided by the UN system.
- Use the search and filter tools to locate the specific statistical information you require.
- For large-scale data needs, use the API to streamline your queries.
