1. Dynamic maps for decision-making in El Salvador
2017 PEPFAR Data and Systems Applied Learning Summit
Dynamic maps for decision-making in El Salvador
Jose Rodas
CDC/DGHT/Central America Region
September 20, 2017

2. Background PEPFAR Central America*: 5 countries
Regional HIV investment: GF (18%), PEPFAR (6%)
Overall external funds decreasing in the region
Increased focus on maximizing return on investment
NAP El Salvador requested TA for SNU prioritization
Dynamic maps of stakeholders developed
STAR: Strategic Technical Alignment for results
Found of GF are decreasing in different percentages in each country.
* Central America is a STAR region for PEPFAR.

3. Dynamic maps of stakeholders
Objective:
Collect relevant information to make programmatic decisions related to HIV prevention activities
Determine which SNUs have overlapping activities
Determine which SNUs have burden of disease but no stakeholders
Determine which SNUs have no burden of disease but stakeholders
Analysis:
Overlay demographic and epidemiological layers
Overlay demographic, epi, and programmatic layers

4. Dynamic maps of stakeholders
Methodology
Collect data
Demographic: KP and general population estimates by SNU
Epidemiological: number of cases and HIV positivity by SNU
Programmatic: presence of stakeholders and types of services offered by SNU and facility
Create the shapefile
Migrate shapefile to
On line platform (free)
Easy to use
Validate results with NAP, stakeholders, and civil society

5. Dynamic maps of stakeholders

6. Dynamic maps of stakeholders
This is the number of cases by SNU level 3 (municipality) from
SNU level: burden of disease, KP and population estimation

7. Dynamic maps of stakeholders
Pop-up information of each SNU: # cases, KP size

8. Dynamic maps of stakeholders
Pop-up information each facility: number, name and principal activities of the stakeholders

9. Geographical prioritization using dynamic maps
Underserved SNU
No intervention SNUs
Overserved SNU

10. Results
Prioritization of SNUs based on the epi and KP size estimations
Stakeholder organization based on epi and demographic data
Leave areas with very low burden of disease
Concentrate in areas of high burden of disease in a coordinated way
Coordinate with other stakeholders working at same facility/SNU to avoid duplication
Civil society understood the data and process

11. Best Practices Platform for gathering relevant HIV information
Easy to use for decision-makers
Public information: increase accountability and transparency
Accessible for civil society: free platform and easy to use
MoH and national stakeholders continue to use map for decision making independent of PEPFAR support

12. Conclusion Dynamic maps Useful as an information repository
Facilitate the analysis of epi and programmatic information
Practical tool for decision-makers
Easy to visualize and interpret
Easy to use: minimal training
Do not need to be map expert to use it
Minimal investment: software
