Geospatial Operations Support Team (GOST)#
Introduction#
GOST is a unit in the World Bank’s Development Economics Data Group. GOST brings spatial insight to WB lending to improve transparency and accountability.
We invest in geospatial data to lower costs for everyone.
We advise teams on its use. We analyze that data to inform lending decisions.
We train counterparts and teams to collect it and use it in their results frameworks.
