ECA’s Involvement
SDI
fl The United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) is assisting member States to develop spatial data
infrastructure as appropriate mechanisms for:
� Management
� Production
� Dissemination and
� Use of spatial data and information products

ECA’s Involvement
SDI
fl As part of SDI, ECA works with member States to:
� Build fundamental, core and thematic
datasets
� Develop capacity and retain a critical mass of
expertise in Africa
� Develop Standards and data interoperability
� Geodetic reference (AFREF) and
� Metadata production

Background
fl Looking at the number of health projects in
Ethiopia and the amount of time needed to report
an incident to the Ministry of Health, this
application is:
Ü Easy to detect the rate of increase or
decrease at real-time
Ü Fast data collection and manipulation
Time

Objective of this project
fl Saves the amount of time the data reaches
decision makers and users:
Ü Avoids paper work that delays data entry
fl Easy to issue early warnings and preparedness:
Ü Usually within few days after the onset
Time

Objective
ü Direct input of data by health or field workers
ü Lessens typing errors that might be created from copying the information from paper
notes

Health Facilities
fl Map the location, distribution and coverage of health facilities in Ethiopia
fl Calculate the average distance or time that patients and health care providers have to travel to the nearest health facility from incidents

Health Facilities
Ø Incorporate other attribute information:
ü number of beds in each facility
ü availability of electricity (24hrs)
ü availability of doctors or health care
providers…etc

Malaria
˘ Identify the most vulnerable areas and the
number of population affected
˘ develop the best malaria prevention and
control strategies

˘ 36% of the population is out of the reach of the health service coverage
˘ The annual average number of cases reported over the period from 2001 – 2005 was 9.4million (range 8.4 – 11.5)
˘ the annual average number of confirmed cases was 487,984 (2001 – 2005)
