Guidance
Using Geospatial Technologies to improve immunisation coverage and equity A landscape analysis and theory of change
Digital maps displaying programme resources, population numbers, immunisation coverage indicators and other geographic data facilitated by geospatial technologies and visualised within Geographic Information Systems (GIS) help reveal patterns in space and over time to facilitate better use of information and decision-making. Despite recent advances in technologies and data collection devices, the use of geospatial technologies for immunisation programme delivery and other public sector health applications is still underdeveloped in most low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with few programs able to sustainably scale and cross the chasm from shape files to GIS-enabled decision making, planning, and monitoring.
