The Data Powered Positive Deviance Initiative was launched on the belief that lessons on how to tackle complex sustainable development challenges are best learned from the people who face those challenges every day. The Initiative brings together the GIZ Data Lab, the University of Manchester Centre for Digital development, and the UNDP Accelerator Labs through a series of pilots in different countries and domains to uncover effective, locally developed practices and innovations. In the spirit of working out loud, we opened the doors to the following four 'Under the Hood' work sessions:

• Somalia/Somaliland: Supporting Pastoralist Communities Amidst Environmental Challenges
• Ecuador: Mitigating Deforestation through Sustainable Cattle Raising
• Mexico: Addressing Violence Against Women in Public Spaces
• Niger: Ensuring Food Security Through Sustainable Agriculture
