Regional DataOnce data for the various woredas is entered, the database will automatically update a regional sheet, with the same information calculated for the whole regionRegional graphs are also createdCan also compare woredas

Woreda GraphsAfter data is entered, three graphs are generated to show month-to-month trends in woreda data% global underweight and No. children weighed% severe underweightParticipation ratesEach graph shows both girls and boys data separately, allowing for easy analysis of gender differences
