It examines mechanisms through which data can support better public policies, program design, service delivery, and private-sector growth, while also considering risks to individuals, businesses, and societies. A central theme is that much of data’s value remains untapped, requiring effective governance, law, policy, and infrastructure to safeguard benefits.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nWorld Development Report 2021  \nData for Better Lives  \nConcept Note  \nMay 2020  \nMay 5th,2020  \n“The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even printing.” – Douglas Engelbart, inventor of the computer mouse.  \n“You can have data without information, but you cannot have information without data.” – Daniel Keys Morton, science fiction author.  \n“When we exclude half of humanity from the production of knowledge we lose out on potentially transformative insights.” – Caroline Criado Pérez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men  \n“The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.” – Carly Fiorina, former president and chair of Hewlett-Packard Co.  \nIntroduction  \nThe omnipresence of data in the daily lives of most people in the world gives rise and support to the view that data will change the world. With the unprecedented rate of data creation, and the increasing role data plays in most of our lives, it is easy to assume that the digital revolution could be the most important life-changing event of this era. But, what does it mean for the more than 700 million people in extreme poverty, living on less than $1.90 per day? Or, the more than 900 million living without access to electricity? 1 Will their lives be changed despite largely not participating in the digital economy? Can data really help improve the lives of farm households in Nigeria, who are consuming much of what they produce and if they sell some, are doing so in ways that leave no digital trails?  \nThis report will examine the enormous potential of the changing data landscape to improve the lives of poor people but which also opens back doors that can harm people, businesses and societies. It will begin by describing the ways in which data may be used more effectively to improve development outcomes through better public policies, program design and service delivery, in addition to improved market efficiency and job creation through more private sector growth. The focus of the report will be on how data can benefit poor people in poor countries. A central message will be that much of the value of data is untapped, waiting to be realized. The second part of the report will focus on issues of governance, law, policy and infrastructure that can deliver the potential benefits while safeguarding against harmful outcomes.  \nMost of the new and fascinating ways in which data affects the lives of many of us are linked to people being able to leverage greater value from the data they produce. The data produced by a person from their digital life can be used in innovative ways to help them. But it is not necessary for someone to be the producer of data to benefit from the data revolution. In fact, data is often collected from a small sample of people and inferences from these selected individuals can help shape policy to improve the lives of a vastly larger population, whether they were part of the sample or not. At the turn of the 19th century, the English sociologist  \nSeebohm Rowntree interviewed a sample of families with the objective to better understand the poverty experienced not just by those he interviewed, but everyone in the town of York.2 The findings from this work changed preconceptions by revealing that poverty was pervasive outside of London, and demonstrating that people cycled in and out of poverty over the course of their lives.  \nThe findings and recommendations in this report are the fruits of an impressive information base, including knowledge gained from academic research, international development agency reports, commercial innovation and experiences. Some of the key underpinnings of it are the 2016 WDR on Digital Dividends,3 World Bank reports on Information and Communications for Development: Data-Driven Development4 and Data for Development: An
