What is SmartComm Tracker

A dynamic, interactive data-driven dashboard with easy-to-understand visual analytics for nutrition sensitive initiatives.

Monitoring tool that captures observable associations between a child’s growth and nine underlying factors of malnutrition. The dashboard regularly reports on 10 indicators (child’s nutrition growth + 9 practices) at household level and village/community level.

What is the monitoring tool used?

Monitoring tool that captures observable associations between a child’s growth and nine underlying factors of malnutrition.

The Nutrition Smart CommUNITY approach uses existing local resources to break out of the cycle of malnutrition. It addresses multiple underlying and interconnected drivers of malnutrition in a coordinated and systematic manner. This requires systematic monitoring to assess the changes as well as data visualization to better understand the interlinkages among the various drivers and factors. To this aim, we have created an interactive, user-friendly dashboard accessible to all levels of decision making during a project life cycle.

What are the indicators used?

The purpose of the dashboard is to enable use of collected data for internal and external stakeholders of the project. Hence, the monitoring system captures observable associations between the child’s growth
and the underlying factors of malnutrition.
