StG-PoA Activity Dashboard

This dashboard summarizes in a comparative descriptive-statistical manner all activities, initiatives and projects in the field of arms control that have been recorded in the "Silencing the Guns" activity database in the context of the Continental Plan of Action (StG-PoA) through a set of interactive diagrams. These diagrams aggregate and visualize the collected information for the African Union (AU), several Regional Economic Commissions (RECs), relevant Regional Bodies (RBs) and all five Geographical Regions.

How to read a bar chart

By hovering the mouse pointer over the bars of the bar chart, an overview table becomes visible, which on the one hand shows the total number of activities (grey bar) as well as the numerical assignment of the activities to the five StG-PoA categories. A single activity can be assigned to several categories. As a result, the sum of the activities of all categories is higher than the number of individual activities.

How to use the legend

The legend is interactive. By hovering the mouse pointer over the colour symbol or the name of the respective category, the corresponding sections of the bar are temporarily shown or hidden in the bar chart. By clicking on the colour symbol or the name, the segments can be switched on or off permanently.
