Mobile data based insights on movements

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

A concept of insights based on mobile phone data can help understand the ways to curb the spread of the Virus. Efforts are currently underway within the field in several countries across the world.
