Data for Development: An Action Plan to Finance the Data Revolution for Sustainable Development
Sep 3, 2015
The Data Revolution for Sustainable Development is poised to transform the way governments, citizens, and companies do business. The revolution is being defined by the explosion in availability of data resources and rapidly evolving technologies. Low-cost data collection tools, ranging from crowd-sourcing to satellite imagery, are changing the way we do business and increasing the availabilty of data all around us. The creation and implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) offers a unique opportunity to ensure that the benefits of the data revolution are extended to the countries and communities most in need, leaving no one behind.
