World Health Organization WHO
The Knowledge Action Portal on NCDs (KAP) is a knowledge sharing and community platform dedicated to enhancing NCD prevention and control through multisectoral and multistakeholder collaboration. The KAP is hosted by the World Health Organization’s Global Coordination Mechanism on the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases (GCM/NCD).
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The KAP was rst launched in 2018 as a knowledge sharing and community platform for multistakeholder collaboration. By 2022, the portal’s design, user-experience and technology had become outdated and presented multiple challenges to site users and the admin team at the WHO GCM/NCD.
Nirvana Canada was tasked to help conceptualize, plan, design and implement the complete redesign and relaunch of the KAP, ensuring up-to-date data page technology, security and privacy standards, and a modern, user-friendly design to re-engage portal users and GCM Participants.
RESEARCH & DISCOVERY
Research and discovery for this project started with a detailed assessment of development needs and implementation plans with the client, who presented a draft development and engagement strategy for the KAP relaunch.
A detailed community report and a comprehensive UX/UI assessment had been conducted in 2020 and 2021 respectively. These directly informed the new development strategy and workplan.
For the new portal design, page navigation and updated knowledge taxonomy, multiple rounds of user-testing helped netune key elements of the new portal. This helped validate design and UI elements, and led to implementing a substantially streamlined navigation and knowledge taxonomy.
