Presentation Transcript

  1. Available data and gaps (BSF) Consultancy assignment: GIS and Mapping for BSF Projects • Objectives: • To have GIS maps of all BSF’s units (schools, clinics, water points) • Incorporate existing GIS data from GoSS and EC / UN organisations • As per June 2009 • Overview, not exhaustive

  2. Available datasets: Health (1) • Health sector : • The national survey is still on-going, supervised by the Ministry and in collaboration with the Malaria consortium. • Five states have been surveyed, but data entry process is not completed yet.

  3. Health (2)

  4. Available datasets: Education (1) • Education sector • The EMIS system is functional, but no spatial reference was given to the school during their survey. • In parallel, the 2006 UNICEF database is available, with location of schools. • No plan to link up both databases is yet set.

  5. Available datasets: Education (2)

  6. Available datasets: Water (1) • Water sector • The WASH database, released by UNICEF, is updated by MWRI’s Information System Service.

  7. Available datasets: Water (2)

  8. Data gaps (1) • Administrative: • Administrative boundaries of payams and bomas is not well defined: • Payams boundaries layer is not reliable, boma boundaries layer is not available. • 5th Census: • Census data on demography not yet out; • No clear deadline is set for the release of the Census products.

  9. Data gaps (2) • Health: • Survey data only available for North Bahr el Ghazal state (June 09) • Metadata (database information on context, content, structure): • information is missing or very poor • New initiative of D. Oremo and UN OCHA.

  10. Constraints • No data sharing policy: in general no policy has been set at the Ministry and public institution level, which makes it difficult to officially access soft copies of institutional databases. • No harmonization of overlapping datasets • No central updates • Lack of regular data collection

  11. Brainstorming • Are maps used for planning in your organisation?

  12. Sharing of information: who is doing what and where? • Datasets available with BSF : • BSF funded health facilities (spatial) • BSF funded water points (spatial) • BSF funded primary schools (spatial) • Derived map products : • Health Facility State Map BSF_Health_facilities_NBeG_A1_final.jpg • Water Point - State MapBSF_Waterpoints_NBeG_A1.jpg • Primary Education - State Map BSF_Primary_education_NBeG_fformatA1.jpg • National maps

  13. Sharing of information: Presentations 5 – 10 minutes • Mandate/ Rationale in GIS sector of the organization • Mapping activities • Data generate/ use/ available

  14. Recapitulation • There is an overlap in mapping activities. For example in basic services: MWRI database, UNICEF, CMRA, SNV, BSF. Other example flood risk mapping: CMRA, UNJLC, MWRI. • Institutions use different base layers which makes data sharing more difficult. • Data sharing is possible, however structure not clear, therefore coordination is needed – UNOCHA and SSCCSE are mentioned. • There are no protocols for updating and regular supply of new data by implementing agencies to ministries • The way forward
