Humanitarian Dashboard
Overview
A dashboard can be used to visualize data for many different purposes. Most commonly, a dashboard is used to provide a visual overview of the progress towards meeting the needs in a humanitarian response. It allows stakeholders to quickly understand the strategic priorities of a response, the key figures characterizing the crisis, and the most important humanitarian needs and related response per sector/cluster.
