Description: By mapping and analyzing data on social-health services (schools, hospitals, etc.) in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the project aims to evaluate policies, interventions and projects in this sector, particularly the achievement and maintenance of health parameters defined by the UNHCR (the so-called WASH standards). Through the FirstLife platform, sociosanitary facilities will be geolocated and different normative standards identified. Also, always through Firstlife, it will be possible to manage different cases and variables according to the type of project and thematic area. In this way, it will be possible to easily collect and analyze data from questionnaires and surveys filled out by local facility managers, and then assess whether or not places have met the standard benchmarks.
Location: The project is developed between the cities of Lubumbashi, Kalemie and Kamina (CD).
Period: 2020-2024
