Tracking Progress and Needed Interventions through a Decision Support Framework (DSF)

With the campaign expected to grow 15 billion trees in the next 10 years, a robust monitoring platform coupled with a decision support tool is required to monitor the campaign progress and provide real time data to support key decisions at the ministry level.

Goal

To support the national tree planting campaign by providing a framework to monitor the campaign progress and provide accurate data to aid decision making at the ministry level.

Objectives

  1. A robust data collection, collation, and processing system to help in capture of primary data at the grassroot level.
  2. An interactive dashboard that automatically analyses the data and presents the data in easy-to-use maps, charts, and graphs.
  3. A decision support tool to aid the ministry and its personnel make key decisions towards the realization of the ultimate goal.

Guiding Principles

  1. Data collection at the grassroots will be simple and versatile for all NGAOs.
  2. The data processing pipeline will be powerful and robust, inbuilt with preliminary validation algorithms.
  3. The data dashboard will be interactive and responsive and driven by clear graphs and charts telling a story of the tree planting progress
  4. The decision support tool will be smart. Taking account of the intended goal and the state of progress at any given time, it will provide an interactive decision matrix for the different actors.

The DSF is an easy to use but a powerful platform that will help the ministry document and validate the process of achieving the presidential directive of planting and growing 15 billion trees.
