Where should digital investment go first in East Africa? Using @Speedtest data through the Development Data Partnership, @AfDB_Group developed a platform to identify connectivity gaps and help prioritize investment across 11 countries. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can #flood data help countries act before hazards become disasters? For #DRRDay, a new Development Data Partnership blog explores how data from @JBAConsulting supported disaster risk reduction in Rwanda, Costa Rica and Egypt. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can mobility data inform event planning? A World Bank analysis used anonymized Veraset data to identify changes in activity across Istanbul around Republic Day 2023, comparing each area’s daily activity with its pre-event pattern. datapartnership.org/updates/…
A World Bank analysis using Veraset data tracked urban activity across Istanbul around Republic Day 2023: activity rose on October 28, peaked on October 29, and returned close to baseline after October 31. Increases extended across the city. datapartnership.org/updates/…
A degree or job title does not always show the full range of a person’s skills. An @OECD study found that workers increasingly use digital platforms to show employers what they can do, beyond their education and previous jobs. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Listing skills online showcases more than degrees and jobs. Using LinkedIn data, official statistics & other sources, the @OECD found this appears to be associated with shorter periods between employment. especially for those not listing formal education. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Data can support knowledge sharing across the Global South. For #SouthSouthCooperationDay, our latest blog explores how approaches to assessing flood risk and school connectivity could inform work in other countries. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can a motorcycle ban affect emissions in Hanoi? An @ADB_HQ model using GrabMaps, Quadrant & VesselBot data estimated a 32% reduction in traffic-related PM2.5 emissions in the proposed low-emission zone. It also assessed effects on surrounding roads. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Transport restrictions may cut emissions yet shift traffic and pollution to nearby roads. An @ADB_HQ project combines GrabMaps, Quadrant & VesselBot data with transport and emissions models to help cities assess policy options before implementation.datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can #data help cities tackle #AirPollution? For #CleanAirDay, we look at three projects using data from our partners to inform action on air pollution. datapartnership.org/updates/…
An @ADB_HQ project uses @JBAConsulting’s Global Flood Maps and wealth data to help decision-makers identify communities most exposed to flooding and target support more effectively. datapartnership.org/updates/…
An @ADB_HQ project combines wealth data with @JBAConsulting’s Global Flood Maps to identify communities where high flood exposure overlaps with low wealth. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Via the Development Data Partnership, Veraset's aggreagted and anonymized smartphone data supports the World Bank's PATH model, which estimates transport demand & emissions across 4,000 cities. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can cities plan sustainable transport when mobility data is scarce? The World Bank's PATH model uses anonymized Veraset smartphone data to estimate transport demand & emissions. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can data support better decisions for sustainable urban development? In Bogotá, a World Bank project used multiple datasets, including Mapbox data, to assess the impacts of the Vital Neighborhoods Strategy and provide policy recommendations. datapartnership.org/updates/…
How can data help policymakers assess urban transformation? In Bogotá, a World Bank analysis used multiple datasets, including @Mapbox data, to study the Vital Neighborhoods Strategy. It found that average speeds decreased on inner and perimeter roads. datapartnership.org/updates/…
Read our recap of Development Data Partnership Day 2026, featuring discussions and presentations on #AI and other topics. Thank you to all speakers & participants! datapartnership.org/updates/…
Egypt’s coastal cities face flood risks. A World Bank project used @JBAConsulting data to examine #flood risk in Alexandria, Damietta and Port Said, highlighting the need for targeted resilience investments.datapartnership.org/updates/…
#Flooding in coastal cities is not only an urban planning challenge. A World Bank study using @JBAConsulting data assessed flood risk in Egypt, showing how impacts can spread beyond flooded areas to supply chains and economies. datapartnership.org/updates/…
