for M &E
 Geo-coding
 Mobiles
 Social Media
 Real Time Data

3. Leveraging Innovation for Enhanced
Results orientation
Transparency
: Access to
Information
and Open
Data
Results data: Technology:
available for geo-coding,
the first time visualizations
Mapping
for
Results

4. Key Principles of Mapping for Results
Results • Visualize location of projects
• Location data for 1,250 projects
Openness and 16,000 project activities
available by April 2011
• Strengthen country dialogue
Accountability and civic engagement

5. Mapping for Results …
Information available,
but not easy to
visualize
Geo-coding: makes
project data more
accessible
Visualize project
locations and MDGs at
country level
