Child Health and Well-Being Dashboard for WHO, Unicef and CAP2030
The interactive Child Health and Well-Being Dashboard is the result of a collaboration between WHO, UNICEF, and Children in All Policies (CAP) 2030. In support of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the dashboard enables policymakers, governments, and organisations to monitor and compare key indicators related to child and adolescent health worldwide.
The brief
Our brief was to create a user-friendly, interactive dashboard on Tableau Public that allows users to filter, view and download critical data on child and adolescent health. The dashboard also needed to be adapted and embedded in the WHO, UNICEF and CAP 2030 websites.
Our approach
Through a collaborative process with teams from WHO, UNICEF and CAP, we designed and developed the dashboard to be as usable, accessible and customisable as possible. We therefore included: colour-coded, ‘traffic light’ data points and the option to view in a colour-blind-friendly palette; filters for viewing data by region, country, income group and age group; options to download data in a spreadsheet, PDF or image and layered metadata for each data point, on hover.
Visual language
A clean, structured layout allows users to easily find and use the filters and navigation. The intuitive, colour-coded indicator system also allows for quick interpretation of data trends.
The deliverables
The dashboard was designed with three distinct header banners, so it would fit seamlessly into the three partner organisations’ branding and websites. A prototype was first presented in a global webinar to incorporate user feedback. Lushomo also produced a series of short instructional tutorial videos to help users filter, view, interpret and download the data.
The highlights
Based on the dashboard development process, WHO published a piece in The Lancet entitled Child health and wellbeing dashboards: accountability for children's rights Child health and wellbeing dashboards: accountability for children's rights that reinforces how data should be used to inform and monitor decision-making.
