🌍 The world isn't aging evenly.
New commentary from our Director Prof. Andy Tatem shows how national averages can hide stark local demographic differences. From Lagos to Kano, and Addis Ababa to Bore, communities within the same country can have very different needs. Better local population data means better planning for schools, healthcare, housing and climate resilience.

AI can't just be about efficiency for humanitarian work. Our guest Nur Hafiza Mutalif from Singapore Red Cross explains why "do no harm" must come first.
Trust was built with Dataiku's pro bono team, leading to tools that freed staff and enabled disease forecasting. It's about impact, not just output.

☕ Wie viel weiß eine Organisation eigentlich über sich selbst?
Beim letzten #CivicDataLab Espresso Talk scrapten ehrenamtliche Data Scientists von Data Science for Social Good (@dssgberlin Berlin) die Webauftritte des AWO Bundesverband e.V. – und fanden deutlich mehr Einrichtungen, als die eigene Datenbank vermuten ließ.
Was hinter der Methode steckt & wie ein Team aus 15 Freiwilligen eine Datenbank mit fast 21.000 Einträgen aufgebaut hat, gibt's im Blog + Talk-Video:

We believe our technical skills can help organisations create a positive impact.
Each year we offer a small number of pro bono projects to charities, nonprofits and community organisations.
What we can help with:
• Discovery
• Posit or {shiny} health checks
• Training for your team
• Visualisation and dashboardsStarting from scratch or building on data you already hold, we'd like to hear from you.

Who is farthest from a clinic? I built a dashboard that computes population-weighted travel time from every populated place in Cameroon to the nearest health facility, over the real OpenStreetMap road network.
Vector and network analysis turned into something a non-technical stakeholder can actually explore.

This is how change actually scales. ⚙️
The 3MPWR Flywheels of Change turn lived experience into real power:
🔵 Evidence → shared wins, proven strategies
🟠 Patterns → data-driven insights from real cases
🟢 Collective Action → organized change that fixes the systemNo more starting from zero !
No more isolation !

I’m working to make “invisible struggles” visible.
Many voices—especially from children, young people, and parents—rarely reach decision-making spaces.
I’m exploring ways to collect these small, often unspoken signals
and turn them into data for social change.Through photo books, small exhibitions, and “Yuru SOS” gatherings,
I’m gradually collecting these voices.If this resonates with you, feel free to reach out or share.

💉 Where are children missing measles vaccines — and when?
🌍 A new high-resolution mapping approach reveals local vaccination gaps in Côte d’Ivoire, showing that many children receive the measles vaccine later than recommended.
By identifying gaps by both age and location, health workers can better target routine immunisation and catch-up campaigns.
