Why scaling digitally?
As organizations switch to digital, opportunities for new types of programs and decision-making emerge. Simultaneously, many are exploring digital information systems to figure out how to do more with their data. Some exciting examples from the global South include:
- Financial institutions are going cashless, saving time and money for clients
- Humanitarian relief is dispersed to affected households via mobile money, much faster than relief teams can get there physically
- Start-ups are experimenting with ways to create credit scores for the unbanked based on their mobile phone activity
- Programs for vulnerable households are developing data-driven algorithms to better predict and respond to emerging challenges
- New crowd-sourcing platforms bring collective data to citizens, empowering them to engage their governments in new ways
