Local healthcare workers were directly involved in the mapping of the health catchment area boundaries at participatory events coordinated with in-country provincial coordinators and mappers, and in the collection of data in the field from January - July 2021. This work has been undertaken as part of the GRID3 Mapping for Health in the DRC project. Supported by Gavi through its INFUSE initiative, GRID3 Mapping for Health in DRC is a Ministry of Health initiative, delivered in partnership with Flowminder and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network at Columbia University (CIESIN), and in collaboration with the WorldPop research group at the University of Southampton (UoS), Kinshasa School of Public Health, UNFPA, UNOPS and Novel-T. GRID3 Mapping for Health in DRC is a continuation of previous work conducted and/or supported in DRC by the Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) programme.
