Using Data for Development

Rapid advancements in technology and open data have made more information available now than ever before. For policymakers in developing countries, information harnessed from these data can provide actionable insights for improving public health, education, governance, youth employment, food security, and more.

Data can help explain what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen, and can give policy makers sound information with which to make decisions and allocate resources. For example, in early grade education, data collected through classroom assessments can help education leaders better understand what a child is learning or not learning, and why. These insights are used to improve curricula, teaching techniques, and classroom materials based on evidence of what is likely to be more effective.

The revolution in data for development also makes it easier to track an intervention's progress and measure its effectiveness. This is important at both the micro- and macro-levels—from fighting the outbreak of a disease in a small village to measuring the progress of the full slate of Sustainable Development Goals.

While the potential of the data revolution is vast, it will take hard work and the right approach for international development practitioners to harness the value in the data and put it to work for policymakers and people around the world.

b. Breakthrough Mobile Applications and Platforms for Education and Health

Etyang Evelyn Consulting & Advisory Inc. has developed several mobile tools that provide users in low- and middle-income countries with data-driven insights. Mobile application can range from educational insight applications such as mobile software for capturing, analyzing and acting on student responses in oral early grade reading and mathematics skills assessments to health support applications technologies that enable the efficient development of mobile decision support applications by storing data locally on any device and synchronizing data with a remote server when a network connection is available. Such applications can be used to manage malaria health records and enable passive and active malaria case detection, epidemic detection, and high-resolution targeting of malaria elimination interventions.
