GDSP (Global Data Science Project) for COVID-19 has been launched on March 11th, 2020 with UNICEF Innovation Unit to perform various data analytics on public and commercial data sets to better understand secondary impacts on societal aspects including mobility, health, education, market, and economy in a quantitative manner - so that decision makers in local and global-level governments can make better decisions. The team is comprised of volunteer data scientists from various countries - US, Japan, Australia, Sri Lanka, Spain, France, and Lithuania. Team members are listed here.
Decision makers are having very hard time to collect right information on what’s going on. They need to have high-level overview so that they can make better decisions and actions.
By collecting various kind of data and performing data analytics on them, we will provide objective and qualitative facts on what's going on and secondary impacts on various societal issues.
Closely work together with UNICEF Innovation Unit and contribute to UNICEF's Weekly situation report on analytics.
The project focuses on secondary impacts on mobility, health, education and so forth. Each topic has its goal.
Topic 1: Mobility
Topic 2: Health (Mental Health, Healthcare Services, etc)
Topic 3: Jobs
Topic 4: Education
Deliver various kinds of analysis through UNICEF and our own project web page.
