The Camp Forecast dashboard is the result of a pilot project carried out by Elva and Notilyze, with support from the Humanitarian Grand Challenges. We developed and piloted the Camp Forecast tool to determine whether and how a multi-source data visualization and forecasting tool can better inform IOM field missions about the needs of displaced persons, alongside IOM's Stability Index for the Lake Chad Basin.

The project focused on identifying, selecting, collating and visualizing a number of secondary indicators, to provide more holistic situation awareness in combination with the primary data-driven Stability Index.

The visualized indicators are not representative of the exhaustive list identified, rather represent the selection based on availability of data, relevance and technical feasibility of incorporating data sets.
