Background and Objective
The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is a global service provider and a leading advocate of sexual and reproductive health, rights and justice (SRHRJ) for all. It works to deliver this through its worldwide network of 120 Member Associations, working in 129 countries, with an active presence in further 13 countries, totalling about 150 countries.
IPPF’s work is wide-ranging, including comprehensive sexuality education, provision of contraceptives, safe abortion, maternal care, and responding to humanitarian crises. IPPF’s mission is to lead a locally owned, globally connected civil society movement that provides and enables services and champions sexual and reproductive health and rights for all, especially the under-served.
Over the years, IPPF has implemented multiple operational and reporting systems to support programme delivery, financial management, accreditation, and performance monitoring. As a result, critical data required for decision-making is distributed across several platforms, including business planning systems, service delivery platforms (e.g., DHIS2), financial systems (e.g., NetSuite), accreditation systems, and Excel-based processes. While these systems individually serve operational needs, they create challenges in achieving a consolidated, timely, and analytically consistent view of organisational performance. Key challenges that IPPF faced included fragmentation of data across multiple source systems, dependence on manual consolidation and validation for reporting, limited ability to perform disaggregated analysis (including for humanitarian programmes and geographical service delivery reach), inconsistent accessibility of insights for decision-makers and programme teams, and a growing need for self-service analytics with reduced dependency on external vendors.
To address these challenges and to strengthen organisational information systems, IPPF has developed and implemented an interactive cloud-based platform (the IPPF Dashboard) to consolidate and present quantitative data collected from Member Associations and collaborative partners across the Federation.
Purpose
The overall purpose of the dashboard is to facilitate data/ evidence-based support from the secretariat to the Member Associations (MAs) and Collaborative Partners (CPs) by ensuring
- data collected through secretariat wide applications/ processes is consolidated, triangulated and analysed in relation to results achieved,
- evidence-based support/ oversight and
- evidence based organisational decision-making.
Scope of Work
Building on Phases 1 and 2, which established a centralized Azure-based data architecture comprising structured data ingestion pipelines, a Snowflake Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW), and a Power BI reporting layer, Phase 3 will strengthen integration maturity, automate data workflows, optimize the data model and system performance, reinforce data governance controls, and expand analytical capabilities.
Phase 3 will also extend the coverage and practical utilisation of the dashboard, positioning it as a comprehensive analytical platform that supports evidence-based reporting and informed, data-driven decision-making. In addition, the phase will introduce advanced integration mechanisms and AI-enabled user interaction features to address evolving reporting requirements and enhance overall decision intelligence.
