Step 2: Choose the indicator
Select the primary indicator (labelled indicator) you wish to analyze. This indicator will serve as the basis for all subsequent analyses. You can choose from the list of available indicators displayed across the seven pages of the dashboard.
Step 3: Explore sub-indicators (if applicable)
Some indicators may have sub-indicators for more detailed analysis. Navigate to the “Indicator Question” section and select the specific sub-indicator if applicable. Refer to the accompanying table to distinguish between core indicators and sub-indicators. Each sub-indicator will have its corresponding response, providing further granularity to your analysis.
Step 3: Conduct Analysis First Order of Analysis:
Analyze the selected core indicator based on various demographic characteristics such as region, state, age range, sector, gender, or target group.For example, you can inquire about the how many banked Nigerians are living in the urban areas in 2023 – the figure below shows that 41m banked Nigerians are living in the urban areas.
