In this episode, I talk with Cédric Viddone, an Information Management Officer at UNHCR with over 15 years of experience in humanitarian data visualization. Cédric shares his journey from GIS and cartography to creating impactful infographics and embracing the R programming language. He discusses how R has revolutionized data efficiency within UNHCR, where it aids in producing faster, reproducible data products essential for crisis response. Cedric also highlights the growth of the UNHCR R community and introduces the organization's data visualization guidelines platform, which includes a custom ggplot theme that streamlines UNHCR branding. Additionally, Cédric explores the advantages of Quarto for developing UNHCR-branded templates, enabling team members to create consistent, polished reports with ease.
