Innovative Solutions for Gathering Data in Low-Income Countries
Data scarcity poses challenges for decision makers in low-income countries. Innovative solutions like basic machine learning algorithms have been used to gather specific data. For example, in Northern India, a machine learning model was developed to identify villages with a high density of out-of-school girls, allowing targeted interventions to re-enroll and educate them. Additionally, low-cost survey tools involving local individuals have been employed to collect data on various indicators like teacher absenteeism and health facility wait times.
