Web Development|Analysis|Design: Scenario Builder for Targeting International Development Programs

The Scenario Builder for Targeting International Development Programs aims to ensure that international development practitioners have easy access to the evidence that they need to make and defend decisions about where they target their programs. The tool has two main features. First, users can explore recent subnational data across ten countries for ten well-being and opportunity indicators– for example, the prevalence of poverty, hunger, malnutrition, and proximity to cities. Second, they can create scenarios where they would plan to implement a development program aimed at improving the livelihoods of the population in that area. They would do this by selecting administrative areas and then running an analysis that provides summary statistics across those areas. The outputs can be easily exported to a pdf and include the summary stats, maps, and extensive sourcing for future use.
