In emerging markets, eight out of ten small businesses cannot access the loans they need to grow. USAID’s Development Credit Authority (DCA) uses risk-sharing agreements to mobilize local private capital to fill this financing gap. The goal of this collaboration between UN Global Pulse and USAID is to explore how big data could support the work of USAID’s Development Credit Authority. Kenya has become an established tech leader in Africa in recent years – generating greater volumes of digital data as a result. The goal of this study is to explore what new sources of digital data, and methods for analysis, could be helpful in answering the question: “What barriers to accessing loans do small businesses in Kenya face?” Accordingly, this report paints a picture of the big data landscape in Kenya, shows preliminary findings, and lays the groundwork for further investigation.

Estimating Migration Flows Using Online Search Data - Project Overview UN Global Pulse
This study was conducted in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) to explore how online search data could be analysed to understand migration flows. Using Australia as a case study, Google search query data from around the world was disaggregated by country and compared to historical official monthly migration statistics provided by UNFPA. Correlations were observed between relevant search queries (for example, searching for ‘jobs in Melbourne’) and official migration statistics (number of people who migrated to Melbourne). In particular, queries from specific locations in Australia related to local employment opportunities showed highest correlation. The research findings point toward new possibilities for further exploration into using online and other digital search data as proxy for migration statistics.

Data Visualisation and Interactive Mapping to Support Response to Disease Out...UN Global Pulse
From January – May 2015, a typhoid outbreak occurred in Uganda. Pulse Lab Kampala was invited to join the National Task Force in response to the outbreak. In coordination with WHO, and in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Pulse Lab Kampala produced a series of data visualisations to support the early response to the disease. Visualisations of weekly reports from health centres were produced with interactive maps at district, sub-county and individual health facility level. The visualisations allowed decision making for the allocation of medicine, medical personnel and health centres, as well as targeting training areas.

Using Mobile Phone Activity for Disaster Management During Floods - Project O...UN Global Pulse
Natural disasters affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide every year. Emergency response efforts depend on the availability of timely information, such the movement and communication behaviours of affected populations. As such, analysis of Call Detail Records (CDRs) collected by mobile phone operators reveal new, real-time insights about human behaviour during such critical events. In this study, mobile phone activity data was combined with remote sensing data to understand how people communicated during severe flooding in the Mexican state of Tabasco in 2009, in order to explore ways that mobile data can be used to improve disaster response. By comparing the mobile data with official population census data, the representativeness of the research was validated.

In this study, mobile phone activity data was combined with remote sensing data to understand how people communicated during severe flooding in the Mexican state of Tabasco in 2009, in order to explore ways that mobile data can be used to improve disaster response. By comparing the mobile data with official population census data, the representativeness of the research was validated. The results of the study showed that the patterns of mobile phone activity in affected locations during and after the floods could be used as indicators of (1) flooding impact on infrastructure and population and (2) public awareness of the disaster. These early results demonstrated the value of a public-private partnership on using mobile data to accurately indicate flooding impacts in Tabasco, thus improving early warning and crisis management.
Using Financial Transaction Data To Measure Economic Resilience To Natural Di...UN Global Pulse
This project explored how financial transaction data can be analysed to better understand the economic resilience of people affected by natural disasters. The project used the Mexican state of Baja California Sur as a case study to assess the impact of Hurricane Odile on livelihoods and economic activities over a period of six months in 2014. The project measured daily Point of Sale transactions and ATM withdrawals at high geospatial resolution to gain insight into the way people prepare for and recover from disaster.
The study revealed that people spent 50% more than usual on items such as food and gasoline in preparation for the hurricane and that recovery time ranged from 2 to 40 days depending on characteristics such as gender or income. Findings suggest that insights from transaction data could be used to target emergency response and to estimate economic loss at local level in the wake of a disaster.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Introduction
Transportation:
• Major cost component of humanitarian operations
• Opportunity to increase cost-effectiveness
• Opportunity to improve HO’s effectiveness
Challenge:
• Lack of systematic and reliable field data prevent
organizations from optimizing distribution
• Most existing optimization models applied to synthetic
data

WFP Distribution on Somali Region
WFP Ethiopia distributed 970,000 metric tones of
food aid in 2009
• Transportation cost: US $65 million
Primary transportation (from ports to hubs):
• Cost: US$ 48 million
Secondary transportation (from hubs to final
destinations)
• Cost : US$ 17 million
Distribution context:
• 3 Ports , 20 Hubs, 80 FDPs

Conclusions
Transshipment optimization model can lead to significant
cost savings:
• Potential savings :
– Existing routes: US $10.3 Mi 85,000 Mt
– New routes: US $14.4 Mi 100,000 Mt
• Clearly identified areas for improvement
Significant commitment:
• Shift from short- to long-term operations
• Planning critical for success
• Investment in new tools required
• Systematic collection and analysis of data required

MASHLM-WFP Partnership – Failure Factors
Lack of Senior Manager Support
Senior managers interested in optimization tool and savings,
but marginally involved in the process.
Short-term Perspective
Focus remained on short-term operations. No shift in focus or
allocation of resources.
Real, But Not Practical Application
Focus on one year planning tool inadequate! WE tried to
move into a shorter time horizon to influence current
decisions, but no human resources were available.

Malaria in Ivory Coast
• Malaria is still endemic in CIV and is a priority of the National
Health Development Plan 2012-2015
• Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality
43% of cases seen in health facilities
24% of hospital cases
26% of hospital deaths
• From 2006 to 2008, utilization of LLINs has increased going
from 3% to 14,8%, but only 26% of children under 5 received
an appropriate malaria treatment.
• To achieve and maintain universal coverage UNICEF planned
a mass LLIN distribution campaign so that at least 80% of the
population sleeps under the LLINs by 2015.
20. 19
Modeling Tasks
• Planning for the distribution of 12 million LLINs scheduled to
take place in CIV in 2014.
• Adopt quantitative project management tools to identify
critical tasks and risk exposure (CPM, risk management).
• Develop a linear programming model (transhipment) to
identify constrains and possible bottlenecks
• Review concept of operations to propose the most cost
effective and efficient solution.
