ICAP’S MAPPING RESOURCES
–Core map sets–Maps upon request– Interactive country mapper
Definitions:GIS: Geographic Information SystemGPS: Global Positioning System
WHY MAPS?
• We can use maps to– Tell the story of ICAP program expansion in
reports and presentations– Highlight ICAP achievements for grant
proposals – Inform program planning by identifying gaps
in coverage
• A picture is worth 1,000 words
CORE MAPSAND
MAPS UPON REQUEST
• Background• Methods • Core map contents• Examples of the maps and how
they have been used
OUTLINE
BACKGROUND
• The purpose of making the core maps is to give country teams a convenient way to visualize their programs for use in presentations or reports.
• Collaboration with the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia University.
METHODS
Data:• GPS coordinates used to locate supported
facilities • Routinely collected indicator data included• Regional HIV prevalence from the Demographic
and Health Survey (DHS) used as the background layer
Frequency: Generated quarterly since the fourth quarter of 2008
7
CONTENTS OF CORE MAPS• A map of all ICAP-supported facilities in Sub-Saharan Africa• Within each country, 6 maps are routinely generated
whenever data are available: 1) all supported facilities 2) supported facilities by activity 3) care and treatment clinics by current ART enrollment 4) HIV counseling and testing by VCT vs PICT 5) facilities supported for EID 6) facilities supported for Lab
• New map: Countries where ICAP works at all levels (eg, facility, national)
OTHER MAPS
• Maps also generated upon special request to meet a variety of needs:• Reports (eg, MCAP renewal, MCAP close out
reports)• Grant proposals (MCAP follow-on proposals:
subnational/regional maps provided)• Presentations
