The main purpose of this 'Storybook' is to help bridge the gap between Big Data and resilience programming through the experiences of seven international organizations: the UN Global Pulse, Conservation International, the Netherlands Red Cross, CGIAR [Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research], Mercy Corps, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). Ranging from resilience-building efforts in rural Malawi, Mongolia and Indonesia, an urban resilience project in Tanzania, and freshwater ecosystems resilience in Canada (among other regional and global initiatives) the wide range of experiences presented in this Storybook provide new insights about an increasing relevant field of enquiry. These experiences reflect not only the complexity of humanitarian and development contexts, but also the opportunities offered by Big Data to strengthen the impact of resilience-building efforts.
