Data Summarization and Visualization (DSV)

MODULE 3: Data Summarization and Visualization (DSV)

M&E expertise requires the knowledge on data summarization and visualization. Being not naturally good at storytelling with data (Knaflic, 2015), people nowadays want visual reports, executive summaries, live presentations, handouts, and more (Emery, 2015):
 Visual reports: while traditional M&E reports are 80% text and 20% graphics, the current situation is more likely to be reversed.
 Executive summaries: most of the viewers do not read more than one- or two-page reports
 Online reporting: viewers would respond better to an online report like website-based reports.
