Movement Trends

Understanding where and when population movement occurs can help inform disaster response and public policy, especially during crises.

The mobility data was provided pro-bono by Veraset through the proposal Türkiye Rapid Damage Needs Assessment via the Development Data Partnership. During the project’s execution, Veraset Movement’s global daily data feed was ingested and processed through the Mobility pipeline maintained by the Development Data Partnership. For additional information, please refer to the Mobility Documentation accessible to all World Bank staff.
