Where do interventions overlap, and where are the gaps? This project demonstrates a high-impact geospatial workflow designed to identify the "convergence" of Community Health, Agriculture, and WASH initiatives in Zambia. By transforming raw coordinate data into interactive spatial narratives, I moved the analysis from static reporting to a dynamic tool for equitable resource allocation and strategic decision-making.
The embedded notebook below contains the full analysis, maps, and outputs. If the notebook includes interactive maps, you can zoom/pan and explore layers directly inside this page.
Converging Initiatives: Geospatial Insights into Community Health, Agriculture & WASH (Zambia). This project explores where development interventions are overlapping (“converging”) and performing strongly, and where gaps remain. Using GeoPandas and Folium, I mapped project activity across three thematic areas: nutrition support groups, improved agricultural practices, and new borehole installations around health facility catchments in Zambia.
The analysis was completed during Cohort 1 of the Analytics for a Better World Fellowship (2022) and was based on a sample of real program data. Outputs include an interactive choropleth and layered map showing how interventions cluster geographically, supporting more targeted and equitable implementation decisions.
