This project aimed to map the risks and potential disruptions to critical health facilities in Afghanistan due to natural disasters, using satellite imagery, GPS data, and service delivery information.

By identifying direct and accessibility-related impacts on health facilities, KIT Institute provided national risk and service impact maps to help organizations, like MSF, enhance disaster preparedness and mitigation strategies. The project disseminated facility reports, workshops, and story maps to facilitate the operationalization of findings.

Main Activities

• Risk and Impact Mapping: Collect and analyze satellite imagery, GPS data, and health service delivery information to create national risk maps and service impact maps that highlight the vulnerabilities of critical health facilities to natural disasters.
• Partnership and Collaboration: Work closely with MSF to identify key facilities, validate data, and ensure the findings are practical and actionable for disaster preparedness and response.
• Dissemination and Implementation: Develop reports, story maps, and workshops to share insights with stakeholders, facilitating the integration of disaster risk data into health system planning and operational strategies.
