MEASURE GIS Working Group Meeting, June 2012

The MEASURE GIS Working Group Meeting took place June 26, 2012, at JSI in Rossyln, VA.

Use of geospatial tools and data in the international development sector has increased as the value of the technology has become apparent. As innovations and successes become more numerous it can be challenging to stay abreast of the latest achievements. The June 2012 MEASURE GIS Working Group Meeting highlighted recent innovations and presented future directions of the technology.

MEASURE Evaluation is funded by USAID to strengthen capacity in developing countries to gather, interpret, and use data to improve health. We create tools and approaches for rigorous evaluations, providing evidence to address health challenges. And we strengthen health information systems so countries can make better decisions and sustain good health outcomes over time.
