Abstract:

This manual details how geographic information systems (GIS) can inform the sampling process, opening the door to powerful new possibilities for obtaining samples representative of particular subpopulations of interest, and the considerations surrounding the application of GIS to sampling. In other words, it is concerned with how GIS can serve sampling and what the procedure for applying GIS to the sampling process entails.

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.
