Use Cases
The Global Majority Data Project makes it possible to query real lived experience across countries, sectors, and populations. Here are three examples of how partners could use it — but the questions are yours to ask.
The following use cases are illustrative. The power of this system is that we can adapt to the questions our partners want to ask.
Use Case 1
A foundation focused on improving primary healthcare access can begin by querying existing data:
This rapid scan of lived experience helps refine priorities and surface overlooked issues.
The foundation can then add targeted questions across relevant 60 Decibels surveys — awareness of preventative services, thresholds for out-of-pocket spending, experience with digital health tools.
Within a quarter, the foundation has large-scale, cross-country insight to guide program design — and a clear view of where deeper, commissioned research would add the most value.
Use Case 2
A climate-focused fund wants to support smallholder adaptation. Before launching new initiatives, they explore:
These patterns inform portfolio strategy.
The fund then introduces targeted questions across ongoing surveys — uptake of climate-resilient inputs, access to forecast information, willingness to pay for insurance — generating timely, comparable insight that sharpens investment theses.
Use Case 3
As digital and AI-enabled tools expand in emerging markets, philanthropies and policymakers need to understand real-world attitudes:
Follow-on questions are integrated into live survey waves to test specific hypotheses — ensuring that innovation strategies are informed not just by macro trends, but by how people themselves describe opportunity, risk, and value.
These are just starting points. The Global Majority Data Project is designed to answer the questions you bring — drawing on real voices, at global scale, with the speed and rigor that decision-making demands.
