Using the CBN Regional

Databases

Part 1: The Basics

CBN Regional Databases

Five databases total: one for each CBN
region, and one for all regions combined
Each file has many sheets, with data and
graphs down to woreda level

The Data
Data is entered for each CBN woreda
Formulas are already in place to calculate
percentages, etc.you should only
change the cells highlighted in yellow
Data and graphs are generated for
regional level and for all 4 regions
combined

STEP 6: Testing
The database can help you check the accuracy of the data by comparing:
No. NW + No. global UW

- and -

No. weighed

STEP 7: Reporting Rate

Enter:

It will calculate:

Total no. of trained CHWs

% CHW reporting

Part 3: Generated Graphs

and Data

Regional Data
Once data for the various woredas is
entered, the database will automatically
update a regional sheet, with the same
information calculated for the whole region
Regional graphs are also created
Can also compare woredas

Woreda Graphs
After data is entered, three graphs are
generated to show month-to-month trends in
woreda data
% global underweight and No. children weighed
% severe underweight
Participation rates

Each graph shows both girls and boys data

separately, allowing for easy analysis of gender
differences
