Overview
Data use is central to communicating the effect of the program and it is also very useful for improving decision making to enhance achievement of program goals. Data visualization, i.e. use of graphics, plots, dots, lines, or bars information graphics and other format, is a very effective and efficient method of communicating results to diverse stakeholders as it presents data in a format which helps decision makers and other users to quickly and properly understand the data.
This allows the audience to make sound decisions. This will require that the information presented must be up to date and readily available in a format that is user friendly, easily accessible and consistently available (some of the issues to be addressed by the GF RSSH grant).
When finalized, the grant use products will be configured into an interactive billboard to showcase the grants’ performance over time, using data visualization approach.
The grant interactive billboard will allow data disaggregation by a multiplicity of indices including disease areas, sector (public and private), state, LGA, facility, year and month (to the extent of the disaggregation available in the data).
