Methodology

With the support of provincial and national health authorities, local healthcare workers (“head nurses”, “health zone management staff” and “head doctors of the health zones”) and GRID3 GIS specialists (“mappers” and “provincial coordinators”) engaged in a participatory mapping process in Haut-Katanga, Kasaï, Kasaï-Oriental, Kinshasa, and Lomami from January to July 2021. This mapping process occurred at the level of the health zone (an operational unit made up of approximately 15-20 health areas).

Mappers were deployed to health zones in teams of two for approximately nine (9) days at a time. They stared their work in the health zone by training the head nurses of each health area on data collection using the Geospatial Tracking System (GTS), an Open Data Kit (ODK)-based smartphone application. While the head nurses were collecting data in the health areas they regularly work in, the mappers worked with the health zone management team to validate and modify data from the field. After all data were collected, cleaned, and integrated into final geospatial layers, validation was conducted on preliminary data by the head doctor of the health zone before the mappers left the health zone.
