Big Data and the Sustainable Development Goals: Innovations and Partnerships to Support National Monitoring

With support from Partners for Review (P4R), SDSN TReNDS undertook a systematic review of the recent scientific literature on innovative data collection methods and the use of big data to support national monitoring of the SDGs. These methods were mapped against specific criteria to assess their feasibility, rigor, replicability, and sustainability between now and 2030 and the findings are catalogued in a repository.
