What is the PDC exactly? • The visible part is the PDC website, but that is not the PDC. • The PDC is both an online and offline data repository. • PDC also conducts analysis on different sources and supports internal and external data users on how to use quantitative data. • The PDC supports external research initiatives (CSDS-FCM) but has also started to shift into research production.

Forests are made of trees • We plant and protect a tree • Which contributes to preserve our forests • Our forests give us oxygen, capture carbon and add to our quality of life
People & Programs • Programs assist a challenge (e.g. literacy, labour force integration) • Those programs contribute to groups of people’s well-being • The sum and collective well-being improves our quality of life

About turning curves • Turning the curve is typically longitudinal (over time). • This is a valid measure but… • Also keep in mind: • Spatial nature of indicators: zooming in adds new layers • Equity of indicators: while the overall indicator might be showing progress, some groups may be falling behind.
About population indicators • You don’t have to measure them: • Have No Fear: the PDC is here! • They will help you • Understand the context in which you operate • Inform current and growing needs • Detect priorities and vulnerable groups you may serve • Measure your own programs in contrast to the overall picture
