GIS Maps Produced using Data from Zcore-IRS

The Zcore-IRS (Indoor Residual Spraying) application helps USAID-supported IRS operations in Kenya to collect and aggregate data from on-going spray operations at remote field sites. Data for each day's spraying, including details about each house sprayed or the day's spraying totals, is entered into the application. At the end of each data entry session, data are uploaded to the main data center and are available for reports.Maps on this page were produced by RTI Geographic Information System (GIS) specialists using the household data from the Zcore-IRS database.

 

Quality Data for Quality Care in Zimbabwe and Tanzania

In Tanzania and Zimbabwe, two new projects funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and implemented by RTI, aim to the challenges of health information system strengthening. Both countries' governments recently introduced five-year health information system (HIS) strategic plans that lay out the critical issues and the necessary actions. The projects will strengthen the ability of the ministries of health to carry out these plans, by involving decision-makers at district, provincial, and national levels.
