      The social, economic and ecological results of development policies can be continuously (i) monitored, (ii) analysed and (iii) forecasted with CFGSEC’s big data system. Based on the results, current development policies can be updated to increase their effectiveness in a fact-based manner. In addition, for trade missions CFGSEC can provide a coherent socio-economic-ecological profile for nation states to be visited. These capabilities were explained and illustrated with WPO examples in a meeting with Lilianne Ploumen, Dutch Minister of Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation.
