Hi all,

I am writing a learning report for SciDev.Net - an electronic source of news, views and analysis about science and technology in the developing world - on data visualisations. Specifically, I am gathering knowledge and lessons learned around how data visualisations can be made more effective and influential in informing decision-making in the developing world. As science communication experts, I would love to hear your thoughts and reflections on this topic.

What makes a data visualisation an effective and influential source of information? What challenges do designers face in targeting decision-makers in developing countries? What challenges do decision-makers in developing countries face in consuming data visualisations? Do you know of any particularly influential data visualisations? What made them so influential?

Many thanks,

Imogen Robinson
