Data is collected in the field by field officers and entered into a data entry spreadsheet. These data are then pulled into the ReDSS dashboard in real-time.

The dashboard consists of four different views: a framework of indicators, a map, a compare frameworks view and a compare maps view. Users can change the data displayed for different populations, different years and different regions from the menu bar.

The dashboard has the following features, which are highlighted with red numbers and explanations below:

  2. Your Selection:This section shows the population, region and year you have selected. The image above displays data for an IDPs population in the Bay region of Somalia collected in 2019.
  3. Criteria:There are 3 criteria - physical safety, material safety, and legal safety
  4. Sub criteria: Each criteria is divided into different sub criteria and further into indicators. 2018 and 2019 data reports at the sub criteria level, while 2016 and 2017 data reports at the indicator level.

  5. Summary Analysis: A summary analysis is provided for each sub criteria for 2018 and 2019 data. For 2016 and 2017 data, the framework lists the indicators under the sub criteria, instead of a summary analysis of the sub criteria as shown below.
