Mapping zero-dose populations: conflict, remote rural, urban poor (Phase II)

Project overview

This work builds on Mapping Zero-Dose Populations: conflict, remote rural, urban poor (Phase I, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) to extend the work on quantifying the size and distribution of key marginalized populations and over-laying them with data on sub-national vaccination coverage to determine the number and distribution of un/under-vaccinated children within each of these groups. Providing additional insights into other potentially relevant settings as well as drivers and characteristics of zero-dose to support planning of country strategies.

Research interests

  • Developing approaches to map population distributions, demographics and dynamics through complementing traditional datasources (census, survey, registries) with new forms of geospatial data from e.g. satellite imagery and mobile devices.
  • Understanding the drivers of small area heterogeneities in population health and development in low and middle income settings.
  • The use of high resolution demographic and mobility data for improving understanding and modelling of pathogen dynamics.

Population, Health and Wellbeing (PHeW)

We combine expertise in population, health and wellbeing with the application of technical excellence in geographic information systems (GIS), spatial analysis and qualitative methods.

WorldPop

We develop and implement open, robust and peer-reviewed geospatial methods. These are used for mapping population distributions, demographics and dynamics, with a principle focus on low and middle income countries.
