GeoSight

GeoSight is a UNICEF’s open-source geospatial web-based data visualization/analysis platform that aims to make geospatial data easily accessible and shareable in support of risk informed programming. This data is displayed utilizing administrative reference datasets from GeoRepo.

Key Concepts

A project (dashboard) is the most important feature of GeoSight. Projects combine different elements (Reference datasets, indicators, and context layers) and enable data visualization/analysis for all end users.

Context layers are geospatial layers used to contextualise the information presented in a project.

Indicators layers derive from spreadsheets or other intelligence assets harvested by the platform.

Widgets are visual components such as charts generated by performing data analysis on country/regional levels and the indicator data.
