Frequently Asked Questions
The ACSM Data hub is a centralized data storage system
designed to collect and manage real-time ACSM data for
Routine Immunization (RI), COVID-19, and new vaccines' such
as HPV. Its purpose is to serve as a robust repository for
ACSM data to facilitate informed decision-making for demand
generation.
The data hub will facilitate decision making for demand
generation efforts. Its functionality makes it useful to
government agencies, health care professionals, development
partners, donor agencies, researchers, community-based
organizations and anyone seeking demand generation data for
immunization programs.
BeSD Data, or Behavior and Social Drivers Data, includes
information on community behaviors, socio-economic factors,
and cultural influences affecting vaccination. This data
helps tailor communication and social mobilization efforts
to specific populations and contexts, increasing the
effectiveness of vaccination initiatives
The dashboard integrates data from diverse sources, it
covers ACSM program data, social listening findings and
client perception data.
Program data is from Primary Health Care agencies at the
national, state and LGA level, healthcare facilities, and
partners implementing demand generation activities.
Social listening data is from social media platforms such as
Twitter, Facebook, blogs etc.
Client perception is gotten from BeSD surveys conducted
through exit interviews, community polls, SMS and IVR.
The Social Listening component tracks and analyzes
conversations on social media, news, and online discussions
related to vaccination. It provides insights into public
sentiments, concerns, and real time emerging trends in
communication. These insights help in tailoring
communication strategies to address vaccine hesitancy,
misinformation, and public sentiment.
