Campaign-based delivery of health interventions, especially in low and middle-income countries, is often limited by the lack of robust location and demographic data, needed to identify and reach highrisk target populations. If national surveys and census data are used to inform planning, there is an inherent lack of the small-area demographic depth that is needed to plan and deliver high-quality, campaign-based health interventions. For many parts of the world, demographic census data are hard to access, difficult to validate, and require special skills to analyze. Without a valid, cost-effective, and timely alternative to census data, planners can unintentionally overlook high-risk and remote populations.
Population Explorer supports iterative campaign adaptation through high-quality satellite imagery data and proprietary visualization tools, API and services.
