Strengthening the resilience of vulnerable populations and of the natural systems that support their lives and livelihoods is central to ensuring both can withstand and recover from shocks and to sustainably improving human development. In a polycrisis era, the value of prompt – even anticipatory – response to shocks is increasingly important. The emergence of high frequency data from various sources (surveys, Earth observation, etc.) opens up new opportunities for early warning, for improved targeting and impact evaluation, and for anticipatory financing, as well as the opportunity to advance our understanding of sustainable development and humanitarian programming. This talk will discuss several use cases for high frequency data in improving development and humanitarian interventions.
