World Development Information Day highlights how sharing knowledge can help countries tackle development challenges together. Established by the United Nations, it encourages public engagement with issues such as poverty, education and the need for international cooperation.
How it is celebrated: organizations publish research, run information campaigns and host discussions. Accessible explanations and personal stories help audiences connect large global challenges with everyday life and understand where cooperation can make a difference.
Its date has two connections: it is United Nations Day and the anniversary of the 1970 adoption of the International Development Strategy for the UN's Second Development Decade.
