Abstract
The Girl Impact Map layers Rwandan adolescent girl-related data to enable users to track trends, identify programme opportunities and influence policy development. The web-based platform enables users to layer programme data, attitudinal and behavioural data as well as government resources. The platform allows users to compare data at district and sub-district levels and to share maps with others. This paper presents the rationale for developing the platform, the methodology for its development, an example user journey, preliminary results and ongoing development plans.
