  8. Technology • Approx 6,600 sites geo-coded (i.e. placed on earth using GPS coordinates) from a combination of tools • Streetmaps, Google Earth, Google Maps, and data from EMISand the DHIS • Reporting and mapping tool developed using open source tools

  9. Data validation • Positional accuracy and attribute accuracy • Face Validation 10 questionnaire items used to determine face validity of reported data • Assessment of completeness indicated 97% of the partners completed the Inventory - overall score of 88% could be assigned according to face validation • The score would have been higher if activity managers championed the review of the data

  17. Challenges • Master Facility List • Program Manager involvement from USG • Changing requirements • Bandwidth to view the mapping tool • Budget information and transparency – reluctance • Update interval – currently yearly

  18. Conclusions & Recommendations • Access to data is a critical requirement to enable transparency & accountability • Measuring the progress for getting to zero requires support from all stakeholders • Expenditure information is a critical piece of the puzzle to match effort to cost • Accessibility of this information to local governments help with local and national planning and coordination
