This platform aims at collecting, analyzing, and using disaggregated data for evidence-based decision making on SGBV cases in Malawi. The system addresses challenges that require integrated data systems to avoid fragmentation and improve coordination amongst data producers. It ensures that the data ecosystem involves non-state actors, both as users and suppliers of data.

The National Observatory Hub allows monitoring trends and patterns of Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), SGBV, Harmful Practices (HP), and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) at the national level. It facilitates mapping of all existing SRHR, SGBV, HP, and Child Protection (CP) initiatives at national and district levels, linking the national level gender data management system to district level management systems.

The platform produces harmonized data collection tools distributed to 6 district councils, traditional authorities, and communities, while strengthening institutions for data management through both software and hardware improvements.
