GRID3 collaborates with countries in sub-Saharan Africa to create, validate, and apply spatial datasets on populations, infrastructure, and boundaries. It uses advanced data science, satellite imagery, and participatory mapping. Their work supports data-driven interventions, particularly in health sectors like immunization and malaria control. By working closely with local governments, GRID3 aims to enhance national ownership and the sustainability of the data.

Data Validation

AI tools are employed to ensure the accuracy and integrity of data. They are used to cross-check and validate large datasets, which is crucial for maintaining reliable public records and databases.

Resource Planning

These tools assist in the efficient allocation and management of resources, such as workforce, budgets, and infrastructure. They help optimize the use of public resources and improve operational efficiency.

#analyze Analyze the retrieved data to evaluate resource allocation and effectiveness of public interventions, enabling informed decision-making for health, education, and infrastructure planning.

#monitor Monitor shifts in population and infrastructure over time with real-time data, ensuring governments and organizations can track development progress and address gaps effectively.

#retrieve Retrieve geospatial data using satellite imagery and participatory mapping techniques to gather accurate insights into population distribution and infrastructure in sub-Saharan Africa.

#visualize Visualize complex datasets in an accessible format, empowering stakeholders to easily interpret and communicate key findings to enhance strategic planning and resource distribution.
