This prototype dashboard shows data regarding tweets that use the hashtag (#) “BokoHaram” between the 25th June and the 3rd July. The dashboard is intended to display how active data monitoring of location, sentiment and word frequency could be used to influence strategic communication campaigns.

There are a number of potential developments. For example, the dashboard could be ammended to update in real time, allowing users to monitor the response to strategic communication intervetions. Alternatively, functionality could be added to show data for different key phrases, from specific accounts or in response to specific tweets. This has the added benefit of allowing users to discern whether anti-misinformation messages are effective and whether they are being received positively.
