From data to policy action in low income countries: how can
innovation help?Bangkok Regional Workshop
July 17-18 ,2014
a call for action“We should actively take advantage of new technology, crowd sourcing, and improved connectivity to empower people with information on the progress towards the targets.”
(From the UN Report of the High-Level Panel of Eminent Persons on the Post-2015 Development
Agenda)
challenges• Difficult direct data collection due to the low penetration
of technology.• Difficult access to households.• Affordability of traditional methods of data collection.• Administrative data sources from the government not
available or not fit for the purpose.• Poor timeliness for example information becomes
available for analysis and policy action years after it has been collected.
• Lack of data at the dis-aggregated level that would be required to inform policy action.
• Information sharing and transparency is not widely adopted.
• Lack of skills and expertise to analyse and use data for policy action.

Funding: Rapid Impact and Vulnerability Analysis Fund (RIVAF)• Launched by the Global Pulse Initiative in December
2009 with funding from the UK’s Department for International Development (DfID) and the Government of Sweden.
• Supports innovative, real-time data collection and analysis to help develop a better understanding of how vulnerable populations cope with impacts of global crises.
• The RIVAF report includes summaries from eight research projects.
• Findings from the individual research projects revealed fascinating insights, painting a diverse picture of the impacts of global crises.
Key Success Factors• Pilot project approach provides staged and controlled
environment to test how would innovation work in practice.
• Use of technology and methods, suitable for the environment in low-income countries, for example mobile infrastructure, GIS and visualisation.
• Leveraging alternative data sources by using crowd sourcing and harnessing new big data sources.
• Development, use and promotion of open data standards and practices to enable reuse of data and increase transparency.
• Partnerships across development organisations, government and private sectors that are crucial to mobilise skills and capabilities required for implementation.
