Huge news! The 2023 United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Global Health Supply Chain (GHSC) Contraceptive Security Indicators (CSI) dashboard has been launched.    USAID conducts a CSI survey every two years, collecting thousands of data points, labels, descriptions, and values for hundreds of indicators across 40 countries.    In 2017, our team—along with our partners Chemonics International—initially developed the parser and React visualization application, which we have updated with fresh datasets from the surveys every two years since then.    We’re incredibly proud of our team for going above and beyond on this project yet again, and we look forward to continuing our work on the CSI dashboard.    Check out the interactive dashboard on the Global Health Supply Chain website: https://lnkd.in/dXPKXRbk.    #USAID #GHSC #CSI #Dashboard #DataVisualization #GlobalHealth #SupplyChain #GlobalDevelopment

Today, we recognize the historic moment in 1865 when the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom, two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of the progress we've made and the work that remains. It's a time to honor the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, past and present, and to recommit ourselves to the ongoing fight for justice and equality. At Bixal, we stand in solidarity with our Black colleagues, clients, and communities. We recognize that our diversity is our strength, and we remain dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to succeed.
