Established in 2012, Pulse Lab Jakarta is a joint data innovation facility of the United Nations (Global Pulse) and the Government of Indonesia (via the Ministry of National Development Planning, Bappenas). Functioning as an analytic partnerships accelerator, the Lab applies mixed-methods approaches to the problem, solution, and identity spaces. It is focused on catalyzing connections across the private sector, government, and civil society to support policies and action for effective development and humanitarian practice.
This year marks a decade of Pulse Lab Jakarta’s operations and its transition to United Nations Global Pulse Asia Pacific. To this end, Pulse Lab Jakarta intends to hold an event celebrating the 10 years of achievements and impacts and announcing the launch of United Nations Global Pulse Asia Pacific to create wider impacts across the region.
A Decade of Pulse Lab Jakarta and Launch of UN Global Pulse Asia Pacific event will take place on 22-23 June 2023. This event will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, including representatives from government agencies, Asia-Pacific country representatives, UN Agencies, donor organizations, civil society organizations, academics, development partners, PLJ staff and alumni, youth and the general public.
This interactive exhibition celebrates Pulse Lab Jakarta’s work over the past ten years. It showcases several flagship projects and highlights our many partnerships across the development and humanitarian sector. This exhibition can also be viewed online through Catalyze (coming soon), our knowledge repository, which shows a detailed overview of all our projects from the Lab's inception to the present day.

In this rapidly evolving digital era, data has become a driving force behind decision-making, technological advancements, and societal progress. However, without a deliberate focus on inclusivity, these developments can inadvertently perpetuate existing disparities and exclude marginalized communities.
In this hybrid seminar, we are going to dive into the concept of inclusive data innovation, emphasizing the importance of diverse representation and equitable access to data-driven opportunities. We will examine real-world examples of how inclusive approaches to data collection, analysis, and application have resulted in positive social impact and empowered underrepresented groups.
