Piloting the GMT in Nigeria: Insights from Kano and Kaduna
The Geospatial Microplanning Toolkit (GMT) is a mobile application that allows health staff to record, edit, and visualize key spatial data and features via an interactive user interface. The GMT was developed to address three issues affecting health planning and delivery in Nigeria: 1) ineffective microplanning, 2) the lack of scalable spatial data solutions, and 3) limited data sharing and integration processes.
To assess the GMT’s potential, GRID3 piloted the tool across 91 wards in Kano and Kaduna states as part of the Geo-ST4R project. The main objectives of the pilot were to evaluate the functionality and usability of the GMT and its outputs, assess how well the GMT supports key elements of microplanning for routine immunization, and identify requirements for potential future use of the GMT.
