# Malaria in Africa This is the analysis carried out for my Coursera Google Data Analysis Project. It analyzes malaria trends in Africa from 2007-2017. It also checks for the correlation between the number of malaria cases reported and the percentage of people with access to basic clean water and sanitation. ## Authors - @essiee1 ## Date: 30th September, 2022 ## Tableau Dashboard ## Introduction This case study follows the 6 steps of data analysis: ### Ask ### Prepare ### Process ### Analyze ### Share ### Act ## Scenario Africa is the second largest continent in the world.

In this case study, we would be studying the trend of malaria in Africa from 2007-2017. We would also get insights on the correlation between the cases of malaria reported and the percentage of people with access to basic clean water and sanitation. ## Ask Analyze data to check the trend of malaria in Africa from 2007-2017. Also get insights on the correlation between the cases of malaria reported and the percentage of people with access to basic clean water and sanitation. ## Prepare Data Source: Malaria in Africa Dataset from Kaggle The data also follows the ROCCC approach: #### Reliability The data is from the world bank data source collected from all African countries between 2007-2017. #### Original The data on malaria incidence, malaria cases reported and women on Intermittent Malaria Preventive Therapy were retrieved from the world bank open data source.
