This is a one-hour session ideal for Monitoring and Evaluation professionals who are interested in learning more about the principles of effective data visualization and don’t know where to start.

There are more tools than ever for visualizing data, but designing visualizations that help spur action, inform our audiences, and support better outcomes for beneficiaries remains challenging. In this session, we’ll step back from specific tools and the mechanics of visualizing data to think about the principles of effective data visualization.

Some of the key points we discuss are:

• Identifying your audience
• Choosing goals for your visualization
• Choosing the right format to achieve your goals
• Ensuring that visualizations faithfully and effectively communicate your data

The content is particularly useful to M&E practitioners who are responsible for designing reports and visualizations to tell the story of their organization and to inform internal and external audiences about the progress of their programmes.
