# ESA DHS Application
This repository hosts the source code of the **Shiny dashboard** on ESA DHS data. The dashboard can be accessed on shinyapps.io via the following link. Allow for up to a minute for the application to load.
## Description
The dashboard uses data extracted from the Spatial Data Repository of the DHS programme. To enhance user experience, the dashboard uses dependency data files extracted from the DHS website instead of a live API connection. There are 177 indicators available yjay split into 9 categories: *Child Health, Child Nutrition, Family Planning, Fertility, Fertility Preferences, HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Reproductive Health and Sexual Activity*. The dashboard covers - at least to some degree - 19 of 21 ESA countries, including:
- Angola
- Botswana
- Burundi
- Comoros
- Eritrea
- Eswatini
- Ethiopia
- Kenya
- Lesotho
- Madagascar
- Malawi
- Mozambique
- Namibia
- Rwanda
- South Africa
- Tanzania
- Uganda
- Zambia
- Zimbabwe
The application can be used for exploring the overall distribution of the indicators, their geographic variation as well as conduct basic spatial regression analysis.
## Note
Presently, the repository contains only the code and does not include the datasets required for the app to run.
