• Auto-balance disaggregated values of indicators

Disaggregations refer to the process of breaking down or categorizing an indicator's data into specific subgroups or categories to provide more detailed and nuanced information. This allows monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practitioners to identify trends, disparities, or patterns within specific populations or dimensions, ensuring that no group is overlooked in data analysis.

Why do disaggregated categories have mismatched totals?

When such a situation occurs, it warrants investigation. The mismatch could occur due to partial data collection, overlapping categories (e.g. age groups 10-18 and 15-20), non-exhaustive categories (e.g. 'Urban' and 'Rural' categories not capturing populations in 'peri-urban' areas), or other potential issues. This make data analysis more challenging and can impact credibility when left unexplained.

Balancing values with a click link

LogAlto has recently implemented a change that prohibits users from manually inputting Grand Totals. This means that if the disaggregated sums do not align with the Grand Total, users are now required to make a decision on which total should be matched. This ensures that all totals are accurate and consistent across the board, ultimately leading to more precise and reliable outcomes.
