GIS and Data Analysis for WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Programmes Course
Introduction
The GIS and Data Analysis for WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Programmes course is designed to empower professionals with the skills needed to utilize Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and data analysis techniques in the management and implementation of WASH initiatives. This course focuses on leveraging spatial data and analytical tools to enhance the planning, monitoring, and evaluation of water, sanitation, and hygiene programs.
Participants will learn to apply GIS for mapping water sources, sanitation facilities, and hygiene infrastructure, as well as conducting data analysis to assess program effectiveness and identify areas for improvement. The course covers essential topics including data collection, spatial analysis, and the use of GIS to address WASH challenges. Practical case studies and hands-on exercises will provide participants with real-world experience in applying these techniques to enhance WASH outcomes and support effective decision-making in the field.
This approach ensures that participants gain practical knowledge and expertise that can be directly applied to their work, ultimately contributing to better water and sanitation management and improved public health outcomes.
