Water, sanitation, and hygiene programmes depend on accurate spatial data to target investment where it is needed most; this course builds the GIS skills WASH teams use in the field. Participants map water point functionality and sanitation coverage using real programme data.
WASH programming decisions - where to drill a borehole, extend a pipeline, or prioritise latrine construction - are fundamentally spatial, yet many WASH teams still work from spreadsheets rather than maps. This course builds practical GIS skills for the sector, covering water point inventory mapping and functionality status tracking, sanitation coverage analysis against population data, and catchment and service-area analysis for water infrastructure planning.
Participants also work with mobile data collection tools to geo-tag WASH facility surveys, build open defecation and sanitation gap maps, and produce the coverage maps that WASH cluster coordination and donor reporting require.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: WASH Spatial Data Foundations
Day 2: Mobile Data Collection and Geo-Tagging WASH Facility Surveys
Day 3: Cleaning and Validating Water Point Datasets
Day 4: Mapping Water Point Functionality Over Time
Day 5: Sanitation Coverage Against Population and Settlement Data
Day 6: Catchment and Service-Area Analysis for Water Infrastructure
Day 7: Open Defecation and Sanitation Gap Mapping
Day 8: Prioritising WASH Infrastructure Investment with GIS
Day 9: Coverage Maps for Cluster Coordination and Donor Reporting
Day 10: Embedding WASH GIS in Programme Monitoring
GIS Mapping and Spatial Analysis for WASH Programmes suits water, sanitation and hygiene practitioners who collect, map or report on service coverage data and need to turn it into decisions about infrastructure and targeting.
Delegates who complete all ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming they can geo-tag WASH facility surveys, map water point functionality and sanitation coverage, run service-area and gap analysis, and produce GIS outputs for cluster coordination and donor reporting.
Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the GIS Mapping and Spatial Analysis for WASH Programmes Training programme, you'll be able to map water point locations and track functionality status over time, analyse sanitation coverage against population and settlement data, perform catchment and service-area analysis for water infrastructure, and geo-tag wash facility surveys using mobile data collection tools. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
GIS Mapping and Spatial Analysis for WASH Programmes suits water, sanitation and hygiene practitioners who collect, map or report on service coverage data and need to turn it into decisions about infrastructure and targeting.
