FAQ
About our figures
How often are the figures updated?
Every quarter. Each figure shows its “as of” date.
Can I see figures by district, gender or programme?
Breakdowns switch on when the MEL database is connected in Phase 2. Until then every figure is a published total.
Can I use SIA figures in my own work?
Yes. Use the figure with its definition and its date, and link to the Live Impact Dashboard.
