n this assignment students will evaluate the information needs of a given case study and produce a proposal for design

and implementation of a data analytics and visualisation solution detailing the required tools, techniques, visualisation

artefacts $($charts$/$dashboards$)$ that provide insightful information that can support decision making and generate value. In

their proposal, students also required to demonstrate the application of data visualisation for preservation of the common

good, environment and society in the context of the given case study.

To ensure academic integrity student are required to record and submit a video presentation.

The primary purpose of this assessment is to provide students with an opportunity to develop data

visualisation skills.

Case Study: NGO working on Climate Causes with Volunteers across the Globe

ABC Environment is a non$-$profit organisation $($NGO$)$ that works to protect environmental resources and promote sustainable

development across the globe. With the increasing threat of climate change and environmental degradation, ABC

Environment has grown rapidly in recent years and has a large number of volunteers working across different parts of the

world. To manage and utilize the data generated by its activities, ABC Environment is looking to develop a data analytics

and visualisation project that can support decision$-$making, promote transparency, and aid in its mission to preserve the

environment.

ABC Environment has a diverse set of information needs that require the organization to collect and analyse data from

various sources. Some of the critical information needs of ABC Environment include:

$$ Environmental Footprint: ABC Environment needs to monitor and measure its environmental impact, including its

carbon footprint, water consumption, waste generation, and other environmental indicators.

$$ Volunteer Engagement: As a volunteer$-$driven organization, ABC Environment needs to track and analyse the

engagement and performance of its volunteers to optimize volunteer recruitment and retention.

$$ Donor Engagement: ABC Environment relies on donations and grants to fund its activities and needs to analyse

donor engagement and fundraising metrics to improve its fundraising efforts.

$$ Project Management: ABC Environment needs to track the progress and impact of its various projects, including

monitoring the success of its campaigns and assessing the effectiveness of its programs.
