About the GeoEvidence Explorer

The GeoEvidence Explorer contains insights from 62 resources describing the impact of using geospatial data in humanitarian operations. Impact insights are mapped against 41 use cases of geospatial data in humanitarian operations and five impact categories. As an interactive tool, users can scan for insights on specific geospatial data, humanitarian domains, and event clusters in countries of interest.

How to use the GeoEvidence Explorer

The GeoEvidence Explorer shows the number of resources organised by use case, plotted against the five impact categories.

1. Faster response: Geo-spatial data enables faster action in a crisis.
2. Cost-reduction: Geo-spatial data allows to do more with less.
3. Better access: Geo-spatial data facilitates reach of areas that are difficult to access, making it easier to assess needs and provide support where it's needed most.
4. Enhanced preparedness: Geo-spatial data supports the forecast and plan for risks, vulnerabilities, and anticipatory action.
5. Supported decision-making: Geo-spatial data supports decisions about where to allocate resources and how to plan effectively.

The initial view shows what impacts have been observed when using geospatial data for different use cases.

Users can apply filters to gain a more targeted understanding of the impact insights.
