UNICEF Zambia — Turning Complex Child Data into a Parliament-Ready Fact Booklet

Client

UNICEF Zambia — Social Policy Section (Data & Evidence Unit).

---

We were tasked with the design and production of a Parliament-ready A5 fact booklet that distilled Zambia’s latest child well-being data into clear, visual stories for time-pressed Members of Parliament—combining sector-organized infographics, brand-true layout, and print-/web-ready outputs.

Working from UNICEF’s brief, we designed eye-catching infographics aligned to UNICEF branding and arranged them into an A5 booklet structured by sector (Demographics; Child Protection; Poverty & Social Protection; Education; Health & Nutrition; WASH), then pre-tested and refined based on UNICEF feedback to ensure message clarity and policy relevance.

Deliverables included a finalized package of infographics plus print- and digital-ready files with editable sources—so the Social Policy team can update future editions quickly. The assignment ran on an accelerated timeline 1–5 September 2025 under the supervision of UNICEF’s Social Policy Specialist (Data & Evidence).
