This consultancy, which will be hosted on the UNICEF-DRP GitHub, delivers a technology suite that takes outputs and figures from R scripts and makes them accessible to large language models (LLMs) for natural language querying. This approach ensures interoperability with cross-unit workflows, allowing various teams to leverage the tool regardless of their specific R script outputs. By transforming raw data into easily digestible insights, this work directly supports the Africa Data Strategy's shift "From Data to Insights," making data more accessible and useful for decision-making across the continent. This not only enhances technical assistance by improving data analysis capacity but also promotes knowledge exchange by fostering a shared, technology-driven approach to understanding child welfare data.

• Strengthen global data infrastructure, analytics tools, and documentation of best practices
• Provide technical support to country offices and ministries of health to access, clean, and analyze routine data
