Introduction

This group has been established following conversations in The MissingMaps

The prospect of global Covid19 vaccine deployment will require an unprecedented logistical operation and prioritisation of people in need, both of which will depend on a range of geographic data and analysis. While most countries will have sufficient national capacity for this undertaking, we anticipate significant gaps in geographic data and planning capacity in areas where state institutions are weak or absent.

Anticipating such needs, agencies specialising in humanitarian mapping and information management have formed a working group to support vaccine delivery. The aim is to provide expertise in a coordinated way and to act as a geographic information focal point for agencies delivering Covid vaccination programmes, notably national ministries of health, UNICEF, WHO, and partner organisations.

Goal

Coordinate, collaborate and anticipate geospatial data gaps/needs in support of COVID-VAX GeoSpatial Planning and Support

Objectives

  • Identify populations that are at risk of not receiving the vaccination at the right time

Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP)*

Global Humanitarian Overview 2021

In 2021, 235 million people will need humanitarian assistance and protection.

This number has risen to 1 in 33 people worldwide - a significant increase from 1 in 45 at the launch of the Global Humanitarian Overview 2020, which was already the highest figure in decades. The UN and partner organizations aim to assist 160 million people most in need across 56 countries and will require a total of 5 billion to do so.

User stories

Healthsites is driving the development of baseline health facility data in OpenStreetMap with priority user stories. We are inviting input from both specialists in the field and citizens to establish priority user stories. Please get in contact if you have user stories to share.

  • As an epidemiologist in the Kedougou region, Senegal I need to know which health facilities have electricity so that I can plan a vaccination role out campaign.
  • As an epidemiologist I want to know the number of hospital beds at a health facility so that I can assess the capacity to manage a disease outbreak event.
  • As a pregnant mom preparing for birth I would like to visit a facility with an ultrasound so that I can give my baby the best care possible.
  • As a citizen responding to a road accident I want to know where the nearest emergency facility is so that I can take the person I’m helping to the right facility
