Client: Overseas Development Institute (ODI)

 

The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is an independent global think tank, working for a sustainable and peaceful world in which every person thrives.

​

ODI commissioned Surgery & Redcow to bring to life a wide range of information they had gathered, called the Donor Resilience Index. The data looked at a wide range of governmental aid donors and analysed how well they were responding to emerging trends in the development landscape.

​

Through creating web-based, responsive interactive data visualisation platform, Surgery & Redcow produced a useable tool that could enable donors to change the weighting of defined disruptors to see how potential changes in their behaviour could affect their ranking.

​

This visualisation took two forms. First, an interactive 'peacock' chart that displayed an in-depth view of a certain year's rankings. The user is able to rollover various parts of the graphic in order to gain further information, as well as changing the weighting of various elements through a dropdown menu to achieve multiple results.

​

The second display looked at trends over a four-year period through an extensive bubble chart. Each bubble is clickable in order to display a further look at that donor's performance.
