SITE PLACEMENT OPTIMISATION
Optimising the placement of vaccination service points in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
More information
This dashboard is a decision-making support tool to assist with microplanning in the provinces of Haut Lomami and Tanganyika, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as part of
GRID3 Mapping for Health (GRID3 Cartographie pour la santé)
. It presents outputs from the optimisation algorithm developed by
Flowminder
that modelled the locations of new mobile and outreach vaccination sites based on gridded population estimates and existing fixed vaccination site locations. New sites suggested by the algorithm are presented on this dashboard in rank order of the amount of unserviced people living within 3km of the location, alongside existing fixed sites.
After 100% coverage had been modelled, sites were categorised into priority levels:
◾ Priority 1: existing fixed sites.
◾ Priority 2: sites with more than 1,000 people in their circular catchment area.
◾ Priority 3: sites with fewer than 1,000 people in their circular catchment area but covering more than 150 additional people.
◾ Unselected (Priority 4): sites covering fewer than 150 additional people.
Use the sliders to explore the relationship between the number of sites and coverage of the population and to alter the thresholds between priority levels to view different scenarios on the map and graph. Unselected sites can be toggled on using the checkbox below.
