About the Course
The overall goal of projects and programs (as well as the associated monitoring and evaluation efforts) can fail when GIS is not incorporated. A geographical information system (GIS) is a collection of hardware software, and procedures to collect, manage, retrieve, manipulate, analyze and display spatial data. GIS technology is applicable in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) projects and programmes. This training workshop will equip participants with the ability to perform multi criteria analysis of WASH, model WASH projects, identify the most risk sections of populations, and use GIS as a monitoring tool for WASH activities in line with SPHERE minimum standards.
Target Participants
This course is aimed at practitioners in WASH projects and programmes, as well as other practitioners such as M&E consultants, public health staff, projects/programmes manager, students, risk assessors and water engineers.
What you will learn
By the end of the course the learner should be able to:
• Use GIS as monitoring tool for WASH projects activities
• Familiarize with spatial data availability
• Appreciate the role of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) in WASH programs
• Use participatory GIS (PGIS) at community level
• Conduct water and sanitation modeling using GIS
• Collect data using mobile data gathering tools
• Carry out basic data analysis using statistical software’s
• Integrate GIS within new and existing WASH activities.
