Leaders are rapidly trying to curate datasets that can help assess the situation with more precision. Here we explore the pandemic response work of four organizations to learn more about their pandemic response efforts as well as the wide range of data requirements, and challenges related to policy or technology.\r\n<h3><strong>Cross-sectoral Collaboration and Partnerships <\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn Tunisia, the Ministry of Public Health built a georeferenced database of hospital bed capacity, necessary medical equipment (including functional respirators and monitors, syringe pumps, and personal protective equipment), and the number of corresponding medical staff. The team worked with Esri distributor, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.graphtech-gis.com\/\">Graphtech<\/a>, and the African Association for Geospatial Development (AGEOS) to create maps for real-time monitoring of resources, featured on the Tunisian Ministry of Public Health\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/covid-19.tn\/%d9%84%d9%88%d8%ad%d8%a9-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%82%d9%8a%d8%a7%d8%af%d8%a9\/\">website<\/a>. They also created maps to connect residents with essential services.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe deployed initiatives for local communities to organize local aid between people, service providers and volunteers, and social NGOs based on location and type of needed services,\u201d said Omar Gaafar, Disaster Response Program lead at Graphtech.\r\n\r\nThe integration of geospatial databases and maps in the ministry\u2019s COVID-19 response plan was not straightforward for Graphtech and AGEOS. They worked together to show Ministry leaders what could be accomplished with GIS, especially the ability to translate data into easily shareable visuals. Ministry leaders were hesitant to share data for the maps and dashboards until they understood the functionality of GIS platforms.\r\n\r\nDespite these challenges, the Graphtech and AGEOS team successfully delivered GIS applications to support the Ministry of Health\u2019s COVID-19 response efforts, improving responsiveness for all stakeholders."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":345591,"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":"https:\/\/ageos-tunisie.maps.arcgis.com\/apps\/opsdashboard\/index.html#\/ba757449b05b41a6a8f2e9282a83834c"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<h3><strong>Inclusion of All Geographic Locations and Populations<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nIn Colombia, representatives from <a href=\"http:\/\/cepei.org\/en\/contact-us\/\">Cepei<\/a>, a think tank working directly with national statistics offices, found the majority of reported COVID-19 cases in urban areas. Data on the number of infected individuals, deaths, and other health statistics in Colombian cities is georeferenced, making it easier to map and analyze. Unfortunately, local governments in rural areas lack access to the data and tools necessary for identifying vulnerable populations and responding in real time.\r\n\r\nDespite the information gap between urban and rural areas, groups are working together to apply geospatial capabilities for better preparedness and planning across the country. Staff at Cepei, for instance, are reviewing the COVID-19 impact on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), working closely with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cepal.org\/en\">United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean<\/a> (ECLAC).\r\n\r\n\u201cThe lockdown has caused an interconnected chain of events: school closures have limited students\u2019 access to education, school meals, and other services, impacting measures related to the SDGs of poverty, hunger, and a quality education,\u201d said Fredy Rodr\u00edguez, data coordinator at Cepei.\r\n\r\nStaff at Cepei refer to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cepal.org\/en\/topics\/covid-19\">interactive map<\/a> created by ECLAC that makes public policies\u00a0from 33 countries available from Latin American and Caribbean regions to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as restrictions in movement and school closures.\r\n\r\nThe Mayor\u2019s office in Bogot\u00e1 is monitoring the spread of the virus in each neighborhood based on movement in the city, travel history, and contact tracing.

BIG staff also say they need a data framework that can ensure accuracy and effectiveness for their analysis. \u201cHow can we fully distribute services to the people when we can\u2019t guarantee the accuracy of the data we have to the public?\u201d said Ferrari Pinem, head of the disaster mapping division at BIG.\r\n\r\nAnother factor in BIG\u2019s work is that the local and the central government may have different approaches and tools for policy making, generating different data and outcomes. Although Indonesia has already launched the one data policy, it seems the stakeholders should be more committed to implement the policy. \u201cWe are still trying to be transparent about georeferenced data and create an open system while protecting the privacy of COVID-19 patients and affected individuals,\u201d said Ratna Sari Dewi, senior researcher at BIG.

As regions and agencies band together, they can avoid duplicate efforts and ensure resources are directed toward data gaps.\r\n\r\nFor example, representatives from ECLAC are trying to create a space where geospatial information can be used to inform policies and help manage the pandemic across Latin America. They are facing three major challenges: assessing the geospatial capacity in each country in order to contribute the appropriate support and resources; implementing central platforms (such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/en-us\/capabilities\/spatial-analytics-data-science\/analytics\">spatial data<\/a> infrastructures) to enhance coordination among mapping agencies, health ministries, and other government bodies; and minimizing long-term impacts of the pandemic on critical events such as delays in the collection of 2020 census data.\r\n\r\nECLAC and the United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management for the Americas conducted a survey to identify geospatial gaps and requirements in the context of COVID-19. This effort is raising levels of awareness and understanding about GIS capabilities.\r\n\r\n\u201cECLAC\u2019s encouragement to implement geospatial data and technologies has created an opportunity for countries to showcase geospatial information to a wider audience,\u201d said \u00c1lvaro Mauricio Monett Hernandez, regional expert in geospatial information management at ECLAC. \u201cIn Chile, for example, the national news outlet displays a geospatial platform during COVID-19 reporting.\u201d\r\n\r\nChallenges faced in Latin America, Tunisia, Indonesia, and elsewhere demonstrate a need for more collaborative, cohesive operations using GIS to organize, analyze, visualize, and share crucial data.\r\n\r\nAs the global pandemic reveals strengths and weaknesses in each nation\u2019s data ecosystem, it presents a chance to work together to rebuild stronger systems and reduce adverse impacts on sustainability plans.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nLearn more about how <a
