Description

Leveraging district-level information for effective planning and development, resource allocation, and tracking impact of government programmes on the community generally calls for in-depth re-organisation of the information system. Such re-organisation in particular calls for demand that whole district data be accessible in a single location, to deliver the most benefit to the community.

The District Development Review (information portal) provides the knowledge base, the practical results, as well as the collaborative environment to ensure that district-level information is easy to access and use, and truly be put to use at the “right time,” as it needs to be in order to maximize its effectiveness andto make needed changes a reality.Weseek out information that answers the most pressing questions for the district.Information about services, economic activities, living conditions, demographics, natural resources, revenues and human development indicators is vital for policy formulation, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
