The design and development process for this chart was unique as it took place simultaneously. Divya, our designer, illustrated the categories in the chart while Aman, our developer, wrote a logic to make it dynamic, which runs on a simple system.

The chart attempts to answer the question: How long do refugees crossing back to Ukraine stay on in the country?
