The Data revolution in Sustainable Development

Introduction

[Data are not just about measuring changes...]
<http://www.developmentprogress.org/publication/data-revolution-finding-missing-millions>
Knowledge has an important role to play in addressing development issues,
but this requires access to information as well as the availability of
relevant and useful knowledge. Knowledge is central to sustainable
development. Knowledge is essential for survival and sustainability.
Our processes

Local volunteers are educated (Awareness is raised among communities about
MDGs <http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/> and SDGs
<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1565>. The
volunteers' capacity is strenghtend through trainings, seminars and
workshops. In addition to that, volunteers might take part in projects and
social networking events.

Local volunteers go into their community to note any issues (Being aware of
the MDGs <http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/> and SDGs
<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1565>, local
volunteers are able to raise awareness in the communities and a variety of
stakeholders (ex. village elders, sub-county and county administrators,
families, churches, institutions, charities, foundations, and volunteers)

Volunteers are able to point out and report problems and/or best practices,
by raising a request for development aid via a central coordinated database
or providing the first level support (guide local people to resolve the
problems themselves or set up themselves sustainable development
initiatives that allow them to fix the issue for all).

*Doing so:*
*We *collect live data which we can proof and everybody can see and not
fictive data or report data.
*We *assess the data and if possible we could reject the data or we
recommend expert field visit for proof.
*We *build from the data our Development Case Studies (DCS
<http://www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/case-study-examples/index.html>
).
*We *make the Development Case Studies available to the party or
universally accessible to all for actions. Owning the Development Case
Studies Owning our *Development Case Studies* mean all the above. Is anyone
truly aware of how our development cases studies (DCS
<http://www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/case-study-examples/index.html>
) regarding every aspect of sustainable Development issues and best
practices?

Let's say a local government or party wants to begin a development
operations in its country. Let's say this local government or party wants
to understand deeply, and try to alleviate conditions due to poverty
through education or access to information and knowledge.

The goals for the local government or party must match the means available
to remedy the affliction i.e., socio cultural infrastructures, money,
people and/or science.

In order to make this match realistic an inventory (*education, live
information collection and the development of Development Case Studies *)
must be taken and all strengths and deficiencies identified.

The mission of the K4DWB outlines a work progress war against the
afflictions of poverty, famine and war. Our Development Aid Support
Mechanism is part of this inventory.

The developed Development Case Studies (DCS
<http://www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/case-study-examples/index.html>)
are given back to the local governance or party and its officials for
actions. If the local governance or party accepts we can make it
universally accessible for all.

Some advantages of this inventory are: *a.)* What do we know?
*b.)* What do we have to respond (data, information, knowledge, resources,
local vs. international intervention, cooperation, etc.)?
*c.)* What needs to be done?
*d.)* What needs to be tackled first?
*e.)* How, where and by whom?
*c.)* which best practices are available?
*d.)* Etc

Our programme intensifies also the communications in sharing good news
stories of citizens acting in their communities and, most importantly,
making social development goals simple and relevant every day, to everyone.

Our Development Case Studies (DCS
<http://www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/case-study-examples/index.html>)
include transferable inventory that was collected to sustain the
resolutions in order to model, resource and deploy organization to agency
creation and/or strengthening as part of local governance system of the
host country. The development Case Studies enable the agency deployment
strategy to measure remedy and report unfiltered outcomes.
How it Works in Practice?

Local volunteers are educated. Awareness is raised among communities about
MDGs <http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/> and SDGs
<https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/index.php?menu=1565>. The
volunteers' capacity is strengthened through trainings, seminars and
workshops. In addition to that, volunteers might take part in projects and
social networking events.

Volunteers are able to point out and report problems, by raising a request
for development aid via a central coordinated database

We receive a request for development aid via *website
<http://www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/development-aid-tools/support/index.html>*
or *mobile App
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wDevelopementAidSupport>*
After K4DWB receives a request for development aid via website
<http://www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/development-aid-tools/support/index.html>
or mobile App
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wDevelopementAidSupport>,
the NGO or individual who raised the request will be contacted for further
information about the problem. As a result K4DWB is releases a case study
that is reviewed by the community, relevant NGOs or local/national
institutions. Case studies are of evidential relevance for donors who are
ready to provide financial and/or technical support.

We assess and release Development Case studies (DCS
<http://www.knowledgefordevelopmentwithoutborders.org/case-study-examples/index.html>
)

K4DWB is assessing and releasing Development Case studies, which are of
relevance for finding donors.
