How to navigate the #Partner2Connect dashboard

Explore the commitments of the coalition by organization, topic, location and more!

This dashboard allows you to browse all pledges made through the Partner2Connect online platform.

The dashboard is set up with interactive features to search pledges and display results. It allows you to get insights into specific criteria of the pledges such as topic or type of action as well as to see detailed information on each of the pledges.

Follow this guide to learn how to get exactly the information you are looking for.

Search and filter

  1. Keyword search
    Type one or several words in the search bar to search names of entities, pledge titles and pledge descriptions. You can clear your search by clicking on the eraser icon. 
  2. Filters
    Use one or more of the filters to select pledges and see analytics for specific criteria. You can either search or select from the dropdowns. Filters are available for organizations, countries and the region where the pledge-maker is located, regions where the pledges are implemented, type of pledge, target groups and focus area.
  3. Clear all
    Use the arrow to clear all search and filters selection and go back to the dashboard view with all pledges.

Explore results

Based on your search and filters, the dashboard will automatically update and show the pledges which match your criteria.

  1. Overall numbers
    The blue boxes will indicate the total number of pledges, the number of entities, the associated number of countries and the estimated financial value (in US dollars) of the relevant pledges.

    Entities can submit as many pledges as they wish, hence why there may be more pledges than entities. Pledges are not mandated to have an estimated financial value, as it may be hard to quantify depending on the type of pledge.
  2. Focus Areas
    The Partner2Connect Digital Coalition supports pledges relating to four Focus Areas as described in its Action Framework. Each Focus Area is further divided into three pillars, identified by the coalition.

    This chart shows the distribution of pledges according to Focus Area (colours) and pillar (slices). Pledge makers can select several focus areas and pillars. Indeed, a pledge may have been solely focused on digital skills, while another may have tackled the entire regulatory framework surrounding the digital economy.

    It is also clickable to allow you to further refine your search. You can click again to unselect.
  3. Types of entities
    Pledging is open to governments, the private sector, UN agencies and other international or regional organizations, civil society, academia and research associations, youth groups as well as media and entertainment organizations.

    This chart shows the distribution of types of entities according to your search criteria.
  4. Share of pledges per region
    This chart shows the distribution per region of origin of the pledge maker.
  5. Countries of implementation & origin
    The dashboard features two maps. The first one, by default, shows the countries where the pledges will be implemented according to your search and filter criteria.

    By clicking on “Countries of origin of pledge makers”, you can visualize the location of the entities which made the pledges in your selection.

Deep dive into pledges

Using the arrow at the bottom of the dashboard navigate to the next page to see an overview of pledges contained in your filters.

  1. Pledges overview
    This table displays pledges relevant to your filter selection. Each line corresponds to a pledge: which entity made it, what type of entity, its country as well as some high-level information regarding the pledge, namely its type and its name.

    The Coalition welcomes four types of pledges: financial, policy, advocacy, and programmatic. Each pledge maker is, therefore, able to make a commitment based on its resources, expertise, and activities, allowing Partner2Connect to be truly multi-partite and to gather a breadth of solutions.
  2. See pledge details
    If you wish to see all details for a particular pledge, simply click on the line and click on the button “See pledge details for…”.

  1. Joint or single pledge

    Pledges can be either submitted by a single entity or by an entity on behalf of other entities.

    This card indicates the share of pledges which represent partnerships between various entities.
  1. Timeframe of the pledge
    Find here the start and end date for the implementation of the pledge. Pledge-makers are not required to input a start date and they can input a date prior to the launch of Partner2Connect. It is mandatory that the end date be after the launch of the coalition.
  2. Estimated number of people impact
    This card indicates the estimated number of people impacted by the pledge. Pledges are not mandated to have an estimated number of people targeted, as it may be hard to quantify depending on the type of pledge. In addition, several pledges from different entities may target the same population.
