Join JSI and Sonder Design Collective for a fourth in a series of mini 30-minute webinars sharing their initial findings from the Vx Data Insights research in Kenya. This Human-Centered Design study is a joint effort between the two organizations and the Ministry of Health in Kenya, aimed at understanding the challenges around collecting and using data for decision-making in delivering immunization services. 

In this webinar, the team will take you through their learnings about the use of WhatsApp as an informal data sharing tool. Through key insights and illustrative examples, they will describe how this app is used for real-time data sharing to help make decisions that respond to urgent and unmet needs. For more information about the work, you can download the initial Kenya findings report.
