How Big Data can foster development
summary
UNDP Accelerator Labs use satellites, mobile operators and social platforms to produce near–real-time policy signals: Meta Facebook social connectedness index plus mobility data predicts refugee flows after Ukraine (12M displaced, millions into Poland) and guides shelter placement; Facebook ads data maps 860k Serbian expats across 82 countries from 4M local users; LinkedIn profiles (700k) reveal sectoral brain drain; a ResNet deep learning model on ESA imagery detects 67 illegal waste sites on the Lim River and feeds cleanup workflows; workflows use synthetic data and differential privacy.
