Roles and Responbilities

• Work with NVIP and partners to digitally produce maps with accurate geospatial data to identify missed settlement and populations and guide  appropriate vaccination strategy for routine immunisation and immunisation campaigns.
• Work with NVIP and partners to  aid visualization of geospatial data, spatial analysis and geostatistical modeling  to help service delivery teams identify zero-dose children (children who have never been immunized) and improve service delivery to achieve equity in vaccine coverage.
• Harness Geospatial technologies to analyze the geographic distribution of populations in relation to service delivery points and key programmatic indicators to  inform  areas that need additional outreach or targeted improvements in service delivery.
• Develop and maintain master lists and data standards for health facilities, vaccination delivery sites and cold chain, settlements, infrastructure, health area boundaries and other core geographic objects to guide service delivery.
• Use modeling to understand geographic accessibility to services, vaccine distribution, and immunisation coverage with links to data (through HIS, IHRIS, and eLMIS) on vaccine-preventable diseases and AEFI
• Share learnings from Kenya on the role of Geospatial technologies in improving immunisation coverage and equity.
