Usual Depiction of HIV Prevalence in Africa

Interpolated HIV Prevalence adjusted for Pop Density
54%
40%
30%
15%
5%
Interpolated HIV Prevalence model based on more than 1,200 sentinel surveillance sites that have reported HIV prevalence among pregnant women.
Multiplying the interpolated HIV prevalence times the adjusted population distribution provides a rough estimate of number of people living with HIV per square kilometer and shows concentrations of people living with HIV.

Conclusions from Emergencies Without Borders
• Emergencies are sub-national (affect only specific areas inside a country’s boundaries) and sometimes transnational (cross borders)
• UN Consolidated Appeals are often transnational/regional (Darfur/Chad, Great Lakes) or sub-national (Chechnya, Bolivia El Chaco drought)
• Most humanitarian assistance organizations are structured according to country desks/programs and have different entities for refugees and IDPs
• Transnational humanitarian emergencies require coordination, collaboration and information sharing among multiple organizations
• Sub-national mapping of emergencies requires more detailed identification of affected areas (provinces, states, districts) and geo-referencing of locations

VISTAVisualized Information Synthesized
Temporal Analysis
• A visualization analysis tool to provide situational awareness
• Geo-spatial - Map of affected area
• Temporal - Timeline of key events
• Numerical - Graphs, charts, tables
• Textual - Hyperlinks to full text documents
• Interactive, query to create a customized “common operating picture”

Discussion
• What are the implications and possible uses of Emergencies Without Borders as an alternative way of visualizing emergencies?
• Is there interest/value in continual mining, monitoring and mapping of emergencies?
• Is there interest/value in development of a interactive, web-based visualization analysis tool to display a “common operating picture” of a situation or issue
• What information management capabilities, skills, and tools are needed?
