Data dashboards can help cities to set priorities, monitor progress, encourage collaboration, inform decisions, increase accountability, and strengthen the voices of children. Based on interviews with experts and practitioners, this report considers when dashboards are useful, how they work, and what makes them most effective in promoting child-friendly cities, produced together with the Open Data Institute.
Data dashboards seek to translate complex data into a clear narrative: commanding attention and directing decisions.
