GIS

Innovation for public engagement

Science Cafes - This concept has been developed in Nairobi as a mechanism to promote and communicate the science undertaken at the programme to the public and media. This began with Wellcome Trust support in 2009, has grown in scope and coverage and will be expanded between 2011 and 2016.

Google Earth Kenya Health Atlas - A platform is under development in collaboration with the Google Earth Offices in Nairobi to create a public domain visualization of all malaria, helminth, health service access and population data generated through Wellcome Trust support. This will serve as a modern information service to increase accessibility to GIS and epidemiological data assembled by the programme.

 

Human population movement and vulnerability to importation of malaria

A public health consequence of reductions in local malaria transmission is the risk posed by imported malaria to areas aiming for elimination. A series of meta-analysis GIS model frameworks will be developed using varied data sources on malaria risks and human movement (including national census data, mobile phone data and nested detailed case studies) to quantify the extent, reach and possible threats to the changing malaria landscape in Kenya and other parts of East and Horn of Africa.
