      '<p>I led the visual system for the series: chart standards, map styling and layout conventions that keep hundreds of figures readable and consistent across volumes, so findings travel from statistical tables to policy conversations.</p>'

This talk shares Ghana\'s approach — SDMX pipelines, a national reporting platform and reusable geospatial layers — that cuts duplication while widening whose realities the data captures, including residents of informal settlements.</p>'
