# Nigeria Malaria Burden: 2000 to 2024 An interactive Tableau dashboard analyzing Nigeria's malaria incidence trends from 2000 to 2024, built as a healthcare data portfolio project. **Live Dashboard:** View on Tableau Public ## Overview Nigeria accounts for roughly 24% of global malaria cases, making it one of the most critical countries to track in the fight against the disease. This dashboard visualizes 24 years of malaria incidence data to surface long term trends, identify the worst affected years, and highlight where progress has stalled. ## Key Findings * Malaria incidence peaked in 2008 at 402.0 cases per 1,000 people. * Incidence declined by roughly 30% from that 2008 peak. * Progress has largely stalled since 2015, with incidence hovering in the mid 280s to low 300s per 1,000 people through 2024. * The 2000s decade holds nine of the ten worst years on record for malaria incidence. ## Dashboard Components 1. **Malaria Trend Over Time**: A line chart tracking incidence per 1,000 people from 2000 to 2024, with a trend line showing the overall downward trajectory. 2. **Incidence Heatmap**: A year by decade heatmap that makes it easy to compare incidence intensity across the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s at a glance. 3. **Worst Years for Malaria**: A ranked bar chart of the ten years with the highest malaria incidence, led by 2008. ## Data Source Data was sourced from the World Health Organization (WHO) malaria incidence statistics for Nigeria. A local copy of the cleaned dataset is not included in this repository. ## Tools Used * Tableau Public for visualization and dashboard design * WHO malaria incidence data as the underlying dataset ## About This Project This dashboard is part of an ongoing data analytics portfolio focused on healthcare and public health data. It follows an earlier e-commerce funnel analysis project built in SQL on Google BigQuery.
