Abstract
Creating a Dynamic Map Template for National Scale Malaria Treatment Planning in Zambia
Highlights
In order to meet this goal, health professionals require an inventory of (1) the spatial distribution of settled areas to treat, (2) the number of residential buildings to allocate resources for, and (3) harmonised district boundaries subdividing treatment areas. These critical components were introduced to a technical audience by the production of a national-scale atlas of Zambia
Three core criteria drove atlas map design: at-a-glance discernment of the spatial distribution and intensity of settlements; maintaining legibility of map content when subdividing the full extent of Zambia into regularlyproportioned index grid cells; and map reproducibility or interoperability at scale for future rounds of vector control campaigns
The country of Zambia was platted into a series of nested grids to drive 289 atlas page extents at manageable scales and to generate zonal statistics to guide participatory pen-and-paper planning sessions
Summary
In order to meet this goal, health professionals require an inventory of (1) the spatial distribution of settled areas to treat, (2) the number of residential buildings to allocate resources for, and (3) harmonised district boundaries subdividing treatment areas.
