Introduction to DEV-INFO Dev-Info 6.0 is a general purpose database system for the collation and presentation of data on human development. The software supports both standard and user- defined indicators. Although, the MDGs indicators are at the core of the package, it can also accomodate user defined indicators as well.

Introduction to DEV-INFO cont. Dev-Info as a database is a tool for organizing, storing and presenting data in a uniform way to facilitate data sharing at the country level across government departments, UN agencies and development partners. Dev-Info is originally created for the purpose of monitoring human development with the specific purpose of monitoring the Millennium Development Goals.

Objectives of database To ensure availability of wide range of data/development indicators across the sectors. To give room to data / indicators comparison along geographical divide nationally and internationally. To serve as one stop shop for data warehousing on Lagos Specific information. To provide supportive information for policy formulation and documentation To assist in effective Monitoring and Evaluation of programmes and projects.

Genesis of Eko-Info database The process to the development of the database commenced in 2006 by UNICEF through UNFPA in 2010 due to the need to ensure improved data collation and presentation. DevInfo techiques was introduced as worldwide Management Information System (MIS) Outfit. Consists of two (2) Modules : User interface Module : Data Administration Module Default data were used during user interface module

Genesis of Eko-Info database....2/ Data Admin. Module was populated using Lagos specific data produced locally, nationally and internationally. Eko-Info was originally designed to capture the routine data collected by the Lagos Bureau of Statistics on behalf of the state. The end product was termed “ EKO- INFO” EKO- INFO database was created in Y2012 and populated with Lagos State specific data and indicators up to Y2010

Introduction to Eko-Info database USER INTERFACE – As the name goes, it is meant for users with the objectives listed earlier. The regular steps includes: Searching for and selection of indicators, Choosing the geographical areas of interest, Selecting the time period, Indicating the sources of the data and Displaying the chosen indicators in graphs, tables and maps.

Data Administration Module This Stage remains the most fundamental stage of the Dev Info database creation. It involves twelve (12) levels of rigorous activities: namely: Data Template, Data entry, Data Management Tools, Reports,

Data Admin. Module ......2/ Metadata, Data exchange, Data Mapping, Language, Customization, Gallery, Emergency Info and Standards.

Procedure for the Eko-Info creation Formation of Technical Team comprising 10 Eko-Info Champions. Identification of indicators. Conduct data inventory by sources. i.e. pre-data validation. Establish a digital map library. Develop a data entry plan based on list of indicators and sources identified for inclusion in the database. Establish data quality control i.e. post-data validation. Customization. Responsibility for data entry be defined to ensure database is up-to-date.

Eko-Info as at today It has been further designed to capture data against Classification of Functions of Government (COFOG). Templates and few data on Budget-Info and Med-Info were created and captured as separate sub-database on the platform. Resulting in Eko-Info 2.1

Eko-Info as at today...2/ Data updated to Y2013 DFID-SPARC assistance on identification and development of High Level Policy/Key Performance Indicators of LSDP on the platform IP address and Domain Name had been created Accessibility through Intranet of the State Government

challenges The need for Arc-GIS enabled map for the 57LG/LCDAs that could be used to present information in Eko-Info environment. Post data cleaning need to be held on regular basis before upload.

Next Step Expedite action on regular update on the platform There are plans to separate data templates of LSDP as a sub-database and create Doing Business in Lagos Eko-Info 2.1 to be relaunched using the latest version Dev-Info 7.0 to enjoy new features such virtualization tools and add-ons for great web experience. Ultimately, to host the platform on Internet
