The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has developed a groundbreaking tool that harnesses the power of big data and artificial intelligence to map vulnerabilities across Cambodia. This policy brief highlights the key insights and learnings from the development of the Cambodia Vulnerability Mapping tool, which offers a multidimensional approach to understanding the complexities of vulnerability in the country.
The Cambodia Vulnerability Mapping tool combines traditional data sources with cutting-edge big data analytics to provide a comprehensive perspective on the factors contributing to vulnerability. By integrating various datasets, this innovative tool allows policymakers to identify patterns and interactions of overlapping deprivations that are often missed when vulnerabilities are studied in isolation.
A standout feature of the tool is its ability to explore vulnerabilities alongside specific indicators such as education, health, and living standards. This feature enables users to gain detailed insights at multiple geographic levels, empowering policymakers to make data-driven decisions that are tailored to the diverse needs of Cambodia’s population.
The development of the Cambodia Vulnerability Mapping tool marks a significant advancement in the use of big data and artificial intelligence for policy development. It offers a powerful resource for creating targeted, evidence-based strategies that enhance resilience and address the root causes of vulnerability in Cambodia.
