UNICEF’s work in the area of data analysis highlights trends and emphasizes patterns found within the data and suggests how these data can be used strategically to inform evidence-based policy and programmatic efforts. The results of UNICEF’s data analysis work appear in its flagship publications as well as data-driven thematic reports, articles, brochures, documents and other dissemination materials.
Toward this end, the Child Protection and Development Unit (CPD) within the Data and Analytics Section produces data and knowledge products on key thematic issues pertaining to child protection, early childhood development (ECD), children with disabilities and adolescents.
There is an ongoing requirement for the production of high-quality data packages that include data processing, tabulating findings, assessing data quality, and trends on various thematic topics covered by the CPD data team. The primary source of this data will be household surveys such as MICS and DHS, but there may, on occasion, other types of data sources requiring data processing and/or analysis such as censuses. The end products will be disseminated through various channels, including the data warehouse, data.unicef.org, and data-driven publications.

L'UNICEF a pris l'initiative de programmer l'adaptation au secteur de l'eau, de l'assainissement et de l'hygiène (EAH) d'un outil qui a déjà fait ses preuves dans le domaine de la santé : l'outil « Maturité de la chaîne logistique ». Cet instrument permet de diagnostiquer et d'évaluer les chaînes d'approvisionnement liées aux médicaments d'urgence, aux vaccins et aux compléments alimentaires. Il s'adresse principalement aux gouvernements et aux agences de développement en tant qu'outil stratégique et de programmation. Il a déjà été mis en oeuvre dans 35 pays, dont Madagascar en 2022-2023. Sa mise en oeuvre est soutenue par une plateforme en ligne qui sert de support à la diffusion des résultats et à la comparaison entre les pays. Cet objectif correspond à un appui à l’étape 6. Cette étude rentre en ligne avec le plan IMERP 2025 de la section WASH et a pour but de retracer tout le processus et la méthodologie de cette initiative d’adaptation de l’outil Maturity Model au secteur EAH.
