Book excerpt: This series of technical notes is produced on different topics of a national nutrition information system (NNIS) that are included in the first-ever global guidance on NNIS published in 2021. While the fundamental modules of the guidance describe the basics of a NNIS, each technical note deals with a specific topical area and presents details on those topics. The technical notes will help design and implement a NNIS and/or integrate a nutrition information system in the existing health management information system. Making data understandable to stakeholders is key to influencing and informing decision-making on nutrition policies and programmes. Dashboards, scorecards, and profiles are commonly used to facilitate data use. This technical note provides a set of useful tips and reflection questions for those seeking to develop effective data visuals for nutrition audiences.
