The world is currently producing unprecedented amounts of digital data, as well as unprecedented growth in digital connectivity. These trends enable new ways of utilizing digital data to better understand the real-time needs of communities in order to help them increase their collective and individual resilience.
Making the most of this opportunity to build resilience and end extreme poverty is one of the world’s biggest challenges. It requires creative thinking and new partnerships.
