Where we started
• Data visualizaIon was not our goal • We invested in systems to strengthen data quality and collect relevant informaIon
• This foundaIon of relevant, quality data facilitated effecIve visualizaIon
Data Sources
• Standardized registers – Tracking approximately 40,000 births per quarter
• Performance standards – Quarterly assessments by faciliIes
• Death/near miss reviews
CommunicaIng Results
Examples of products • Monthly Facility-‐level Data
Dashboards • Monthly MOH report • Quarterly M&E Update • Annual Report: ExecuIve
Summary for the MOH
• Audience • What informaIon do they
need? • How frequently do they need
it? • Availability and quality of the
data • How should the informaIon
be analyzed and organized to maximize its message?
• Incorporate data visualizaIon to maximize results communicaIon

Lessons Learned
• EffecIve data visualizaIon requires relevant data of sufficient quality to mobilize acIon
• Develop data products with primary users to maximize uIlity
• InformaIon is POWERFUL! Data serve as a catalyst for acIon when trusted, available, and visible
• VisualizaIon facilitated a broader awareness of performance & improved results communicaIon within the EMAS program and in supported health faciliIes
