Satellite data for development sector impact
Satellite data is being used in the development sector to create impact. For example, in global health programs, high-resolution satellite imagery is used to understand population distribution and plan vaccine distribution. Satellite data is also used in climate-sensitive agricultural programs to monitor the impact of interventions on crop yields and productivity. However, the adoption of satellite data in the development sector is still in its early stages.
