Abstract
This report aims to capture the applications of big data sources to measure sustainable development goals and targets by reviewing relevant literature and reports. It outlines current concerns with uses of big data (privacy, marginalization, competition, etc.) and provides a discussion of the interplay of these issues. Developing economies in particular have much lower levels of ‘datafication’ than developed economies, which means some of the most interesting and relevant data exists amongst the private sector. The state of the art in innovative development-focused applications of new data sources is still very much in its embryonic stages.
