If you would like to focus on a country and a specific target, you can go ahead and do that.
Consider your audience including leaders/decision-making. Can one use a subset of the data/content to focus only on one country or area?Įxplore, be creative and be clear on your audience and goal. The data to be used for your visual product is located in the tab called ‘dref_data’.įAQ 1: The Dref dataset is large.Read the instructions in the dataset, in the tab called ‘additional_information’.

Download a copy of the dataset by clicking here. The dataset has been cleaned already, so you will only focus on exploring and understanding the data, and start building your visual product. It is a subset of general information about DREF operations from 2018 to 2022 in all five IFRC regions.
To participate, you will manage and work with real DREF data. It can be in any format and any tool: a dashboard, infographic, map, chart, custom graphics, set of sketches or any combination of these. We are looking for creative, innovative, impactful, friendly and user-focused visual products to improve analysis of DREF data. The intended users for such a product would be humanitarian advisors, operations managers, and others who are looking at trends in Red Cross Red Crescent responses supported by the DREF.Ĭreate a visual product aiming to improve analytics and support decision-making for the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF). There is an untapped potential to use data visualisation to describe DREF coverage and impact, as well to potentially even prescribe and suggest future improvements to reach more rapidly and effectively those affected by disasters and crises. With an annual average of 115 DREF operations over the past 5 years, the coverage of the DREF is worldwide, reaching countries from all IFRC regions and allowing National Societies to respond more effectively to disasters and crises. To support these smaller disasters, or to provide initial funding before launching an Emergency Appeal, the IFRC rapidly channels funding to Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies through the DREF-enabling them to deliver fast and effective local humanitarian action. Without media attention or international visibility, they can struggle to attract funding-putting affected communities at risk of being completely neglected. It helps our network better meet the needs of affected communities.Įvery year, small and medium-sized disasters occur in silence. * IFRC GO is IFRC’s emergency operations platform for capturing, analysing and sharing real-time data during a crisis. In this third edition of the challenge, we are calling Data Viz creators to continue demonstrating our impact and supporting decision-making for humanitarian response. We are inspired by the example of Florence Nightingale, who as well as helping to found the British Red Cross in 1870, was a pioneer in the use of data visualisations, to illustrate and advocate for the need of sanitary reforms to save lives. In 2019, the IFRC held its first data visualisation challenge intended to bring together data visualisation talent from across the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement to think of innovative ways of improving common operational information products.Ī second edition of the data visualisation challenge was held in 2021, focusing in 3w -or who, what, where? data- to look for creative and innovative contributions to the improved 3w module in GO*.
