The 'science of delivery' is a term popularized by the World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim, and refers to using evidence-based experimentation to improve development outcomes (Walji, 2013). In this context, locational data is a new tool that is starting to be used in a variety of development fields including health, education, disaster risk management, traffic planning etc. this broad introduction to the topic in chapter one, the next chapter explores the technology behind locational data. Chapter three presents the methodology followed in this research and chapter four, which is the heart of this report, then presents a series of mini case studies of how it is actually being used in a representative sample of different development fields. This is the 'evidence-based experimentation' which can be harnessed to improve the 'science of delivery', and examples of both active and passive collection of locational data are presented. Finally, chapter five examines, in broader terms, the longer term potential of locational data as a development tool, once smartphone ownership becomes more widespread.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGO3GABSTRACTIONADVERTISEMENTSADVERTISINGAPIATTRIBUTESBANDWIDTHBASICBOUNDARIESBROADBANDBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESSESCACHECAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCATALOGUECELL PHONECELL-PHONECELL-PHONESCELLPHONECELLULAR NETWORKCITIESCODESCOLLABORATIONCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNITIESCOMPONENTSCOMPUTER PROCESSINGCOMPUTERSCOMPUTINGCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCONFIGURATIONSCONNECTIVITYCONSULTING SERVICESCONSUMER MARKETSCONTENT MANAGEMENTCONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSCONTENT PROVIDERSCONTENTSCOPYINGCOPYRIGHTCUSTOMIZATIONDATA ANALYSISDATA CENTERDATA COLLECTIONDATA FORMATSDATA MININGDATA RELATIONSHIPDATA SOURCESDATA STORAGEDESCRIPTIONDESIGN OF INFORMATIONDIGITALDIRECT CONNECTIONE-MAILE-MAILSEMAILSEND-USERENTRYENTRY POINTEQUIPMENTEXPERIMENTATIONFINANCIAL SUPPORTFUNCTIONALITYGENERAL PUBLICGLOBAL POSITIONING SATELLITESGLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMGLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEMSGPSICTIDIDSIMAGEIMAGESIMAGINATIONIMAGINGIMPLEMENTATIONSINFERENCEINFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYINFORMATION FLOWSINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRAREDINNOVATIONINNOVATION POLICYINNOVATIONSINSIGHTSINSTALLATIONINTERFACEINTERFACESINTEROPERABILITYKNOWLEDGE ECONOMYLAW ENFORCEMENTLEADINGLEARNINGLIBRARIESLICENSESLOCALIZATIONLOOPSMARKETINGMARKUPMARKUP LANGUAGEMARKUP LANGUAGESMASS MARKETMATERIALMEDIAMEMORYMETADATAMIDDLEWAREMOBILE APPLICATIONMOBILE APPLICATIONSMOBILE DEVICEMOBILE DEVICESMOBILE NETWORKMOBILE NETWORKSMOBILE PHONEMOBILE PHONESMOBILE USERMOBILE USERSMONITORSNAVIGATIONNAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEMNAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEMSNETWORK SOCIETYNETWORKINGNETWORKSNEW TECHNOLOGIESNEW TECHNOLOGYOPEN SOURCE SOFTWAREOPERATING SYSTEMOPERATING SYSTEMSPHOTOSPHYSICAL LOCATIONPHYSICAL LOCATIONSPLUG-INSPRACTITIONERSPRIVACYPRIVACY CONCERNSPRIVACY ISSUESPROGRAMMINGPROGRAMMING LANGUAGESPROGRAMSPUBLIC ACCESSPUBLIC ACCESS POINTSPUBLIC UTILITIESQUERIESRADIORADIO FREQUENCIESRADIO FREQUENCYRADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATIONRADIO SIGNALSRADIOSREAL TIMEREAL-TIME DATARELIABILITYRESEARCHERSRESULTSRFIDRISK FACTORSSATELLITESATELLITESSCIENTISTSSDISEARCHSENSORSSERVERSERVER DATABASESERVERSSERVICE PROVIDERSSITESITESSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL ENTERPRISESOCIAL INTERACTIONSOFTWARE APPLICATIONSOFTWARE COMPANIESSOFTWARE COMPANYSOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTSOFTWARE PRODUCTSOFTWARE SOLUTIONSSUPERVISIONSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENTTAGGINGTECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTTECHNOLOGICAL POSSIBILITIESTECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATIONTELECOMTELECOM COMPANIESTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANYTELEPHONETELEPHONE COMPANIESTRANSMISSIONTRANSMISSIONSTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURESUNIQUE IDUNIVERSAL ACCESSUSABILITYUSERUSERSUSESVARIETYVENDORVIDEOVIDEOSWEBWEB APPLICATIONWEB APPLICATIONSWEB BROWSERWEB DEVELOPERSWEB INTERFACEWEB SERVICEWIFIWIRELESSWIRELESS ACCESSWIRELESS SERVICE10.1596/19316
