Investment Areas
Creating coordinated national systems with governance frameworks to enhance data integration and accessibility.
Our capacity assessments across multiple states and provinces revealed significant gaps in subnational geospatial infrastructure, technical capacity, and governance. These limitations have prevented effective use of location data for local health planning and service delivery. The Subnational Geospatial Infrastructure investment area addresses these challenges by developing local technical systems and capabilities at state and provincial levels.
Key Challenges Addressed:
Limited local capacity for geospatial analysis
Fragmented data portals and repositories
Inefficient micro-planning using hand-drawn maps
Insufficient hardware and software resources
Poor coordination between levels of government
Strategic Approach:
This investment area strengthens local geospatial infrastructure through:
Localized data system development
Technical capacity building for subnational teams
Governance frameworks for data management
Integration with local decision-making processes
The Localized Geospatial Systems Development intervention builds subnational data infrastructure with local governance structures. This intervention is adapted to existing capacity levels.
Scenario I (No previous intervention):
Full-suite intervention including repository development, capacity building, and governance structure establishment
Scenario II (Building on existing interventions):
Local implementation focuses on:
Focused on repository development and governance structure establishment, leveraging previous capacity building work
