Instructor: Zia Mehrabi
What do we know about the current state of poverty? human health? education? food security? gender equality? the environment? Where are the biggest data gaps, and how can filling these gaps assist governments in targeting interventions and in tracking, monitoring and accelerating progress towards the sustainable development goals? In this advanced graduate version of this course you will tackle this problem head on, competing and collaborating with your peers, in the compilation, scrutinization and analysis of a diverse range of data sets, generated at different scales, from both boots on the ground and eyes in the sky,听 to create information and actionable insights for world development.
