25. Use of infographics to present MICS data

26. Infographics to present MICS data: General observations Currently available: Belarus, Belize, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Republic of Moldova, Serbia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Ukraine Varying levels of: quality, accuracy, ease of understanding (for both narratives and visuals), and interpretation of the data. Esthetics seem at times to take over quality of the content

27. Infographics to present MICS data: Obtaining guidance No guidelines currently available from DPS, nor from DOC (upcoming, but not on MICS) Most countries have asked feedback from NYHQ (D&A Section) and/or CEE/CIS Regional Office While requested, feedback not always incorporated Who’s responsible for providing guidance… Brand Unit at DOC? Social Media Unit? Data Dissemination Unit in DPS? How to provide it? Hands-on webinar? In-person training? Advice on-demand? Gallery of best examples?

28. Infographics to present MICS data: Some lessons learned Field offices are left on their own to plan, select the data, develop, produce and evaluate infographics This puts UNICEF’s reputation of knowledge leader at risk. Especially true considering infographics’s growing popularity, on one hand, and the lack of rigor on the content (at the expense of the look), on the other hand This can also affect reliability of, and confidence in, MICS data

29. Infographics to present MICS data: What makes a great infographic? Attractive visual explanation to easily understand technical, and sometimes complicated, information Should be telling a story Usually stands alone/completely self-explanatory Makes for faster, more consistent understanding Universally understandable They are NOT: a visual list, a group of large numbers with supporting graphics, a collection of statistics, or dependent on another report.

30. Infographics to present MICS data: Steps to develop and produce infographics Planning (give yourself plenty of time from beginning to end) Identifying resources and getting guidance Selecting the data Developing a creative concept Producing and pre-testing the infographic Disseminating Promoting Measuring effectiveness

31. Infographics to present MICS data: Common pitfalls to be aware (based on observations) Too much text and content not accessible to non- technical audiences. Note: when required, define technical terms (stunted: too short for their age). Inappropriate use of icons/symbols to represent the findings (kid on a scale to depict weight at birth). Use of alpha proportions instead of numeric (e.g., “every fifth” instead of simply “1 in 5”… especially when accompanied by illustrations)

32. Icon (visuals) size proportions not respected (1/3 should be 3 times smaller) Order of legend and bar chart not matching Overuse of decimals (keep it simple) Inconsistent color coding throughout the infographic (same categories [urban-rural; male-female; poorest quintile-richest quintile; etc.] should use same colors) Overuse of acronyms (if required, spell them out at first use) Infographics to present MICS data: Common pitfalls to be aware (based on observations)
