Point by Point Introduction
Simply put, Axis is a tool designed to easily digest data from FOCUS, MSRP and PSR. The initiative was started by the Division of International Protection and the Innovation Unit. Throughout the course of 3 months, a prototype was built to address the data issues that were faced by the Education Unit.
Over the year, the concept iterated and a team of was developed to tackle data visualization for any unit within UNHCR. From the outset, Axis was developed to be driven by users' needs. At 3 month intervals feedback rounds were conducted to measure the progress of the platform. Through initial discussions, 4 main objectives were put in place for Axis to solve:
- Provide fast access to information through visualization
- Structure data according to global strategies
- Transform data into presentable, state of the art formats
- Aid in using data effectively for analysis and improving planning
Over the course of the year, Axis was released in various versions to ensure that the tool was still on track to meet the above objectives. After numerous revisions, Axis became a tool that addressed the needs facing UNHCR staff.
