Our Ideas
What are hidden data treasuries and how can they help development outcomes?
Our team built an exhaustive crop type and yield estimation map in Burkina Faso, using artificial intelligence and satellite images from the European Space Agency. But building the map would not have been possible without a data set that GIZ, the German government’s international development agency, had collected for one purpose on the ground some years before – and never looked at again. At Dalberg, we call this a “hidden data treasury” and it has huge potential to be used for good.
