About this Event
The focus of WASH programs is promoting good environmental and personal hygiene in order to improve and protect health. GIS on the other hand is known for giving a spatial dimension to data by allowing users to view different types of data inform of layers, they are used to perform analysis and eventually publish a map. GIS when integrated with WASH enables users to create models of complex environments making them easy to understand. This in turn aids in proper and informed decision making which speeds up implementation of programs.
This 5-day intensive course will give WASH practitioners front-line skills on project planning, design and accountability.
Audience:
This course is designed for WASH Experts who would like to learn what GIS is and how it can be used in WASH.
Training Objectives:
This training will expose participants to the use of GIS for WASH programs with respect to Data Sources, Mapping, Applications, Technology and Timeline for implementation.
By completing this course, participants will be able to: -
• Evaluate the spatial data requirements in Water Sanitation and Hygiene
• Use GIS and RS as a tool for monitoring WASH projects
• Assess spatial data availability and understand the importance of Spatial Data Infrastructure in WASH programs
• Use participatory GIS (PGIS) at the community level
• Collect data using Mobile data gathering tools
• Design and implement their own GIS projects that integrate remote sensing data, GPS-based field information in a proper geospatial framework
