  1. Event: Web-based GIS and Mapping Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 11th – 22nd June 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Web mapping focuses on disseminating and processing geographic information by means of Internet and World Wide Web. Combination of the web and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) has unlocked the potential of GIS, and put online maps and geospatial intelligence in the offices/homes of millions and the hands of billions. The increasing flexibility and interoperability of web mapping technologies has opened new opportunities for Web Based Mappers. Both non-GIS users and GIS experts can do more now, than ever to share maps over the internet. Web maps can easily deliver up to date information, maps are generated automatically from databases, and they can display information in almost real-time. They don't need to be printed, mastered and distributed. Web GIS has immense applicability to e-government, e-business, e-science, and all aspects of daily life. Government employees can utilize Web GIS to improve public services delivery and boost collaboration across agencies. Regardless of the sector, businesses can use Web GIS to enhance their existing business models and create new ones. Researchers can find new solutions to meet the challenges of the new frontiers. Web GIS has great practical value to our world today and into the future. WHO SHOULD APPLY?

  3. Event: Use of GIS and Remote Sensing in Disaster Risk Management Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 11th – 15th June 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Disaster risk information is spatial in nature and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play an important role in disaster risk management. Rapid population growth and urbanization combined with extreme climatic events are causing a rapid increase in vulnerability of communities exposed to hazardous events. Natural disasters inflict severe damage on almost the entire spectrum of social and natural habitats, ranging from housing and shelter, water, food, health, sanitation, and waste management to information and communication networks, supply of power and energy, and transportation infrastructure. There is a great need to utilize disaster risk information in planning for effective coping mechanisms of disaster risk reduction. For this, there is a significant need to create awareness among the disaster management professionals regarding the importance of GIS and Remote Sensing. This course is job oriented and aims to impact practical skills on how to use GIS and RS ,to overcome the major challenges faced in ,pre-disasters during disaster and post-disaster management such as during early warning, hazard, vulnerability and risk assessment, damage assessment, as well as in the design of risk reduction measures. DURATION 5 Days TARGETED AUDIENCE The course is targeted at professionals who require knowledge and skills on the use of GIS and RS in their organization in the field of disaster management.

  4. Event: GIS and Remote Sensing for Epidemiology and Public Health Course Venue: Indepth Research Services, Nairobi, Kenya. Event Date: 11th – 15th June 2018. NITA CERTIFIED RECENT CLIENTS INTRODUCTION Epidemiology seeks to determine associations between exposure risk and disease that are spatially dependent. Public health focuses on the health of populations rather than of individuals and focuses more on prevention of health problems. These efforts fall naturally within the domain of problems requiring use of spatial analysis as part of the solution, and GIS and other spatial analysis tools are therefore recognized as providing potentially transformational capabilities for Epidemiology and public health efforts. Statistics are a mainstay in the toolkit of public health professionals. Human memory being what it is, however, even Public health professionals with reasonable statistical training, over the years, often forget the basics. If professionals are going to make sensible use of consultants, communicate effectively with funders, and understand others’ reports, then they often need at least a conceptual understanding of relatively complex, recently developed statistical techniques. This course are: to link common public health questions with appropriate statistical procedures; to offer a strong conceptual grounding in several important statistical procedures; and to describe how to interpret the results from the statistics in ways that are principled and will be persuasive to intended audiences using simple software tools. Participants will acquire hands-on skills in use of Geographic Information System (GIS) as a tool to capture, store, analyze, manage, and visualize disease cases data that is geographically linked. The participants will also acquire statistical data analysis skills. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? The course is targeted at individuals working with health data that have no experience using GIS but would like to learn how it can be applied in their work. COURSE OBJECTIVES · To develop Understanding on the different components of a GIS and the role GIS plays in solving epidemiological and public health problems. · To present to participants all data-related aspects of a GIS, such as the data models in GIS, data input, data editing, data visualization, metadata and managing a spatial database. · To Carry out advanced analyses of geographical data with specific reference to epidemiological related issues · To improve data management and analysis skills of the participants · To perform spatial and temporal epidemiological and public health analysis using GIS. · Establish understanding on how to work with spatial data and GIS techniques to solve epidemiology and public health problems. · To expose participants to data capture, input, manipulation and display by GIS · To demonstrate to participants use of GIS in mapping health facilities and projects. · To explain to the participants role of GIS as a decision support system in public health TOPICS TO BE COVERED The training workshop will discuss the application of GIS in Public Health under the following themes: · Epidemiology and public health concepts and frameworks · GIS data management in epidemiology and public health. · Spatial mapping and Visualization in Epidemiology and Public health · GIS for monitoring in Epidemiology and public health · Participatory GIS in public health · Use of mobile GIS in health surveillance and assessments · Integrating GIS into Electronic Medical Records (case studies or practical?) · Basic statistical data analysis for Epidemiology and Public health · Graphs and Charts Line Graphs Visit our website for more details How to participate · Tailor Make a Course · Register individual. · Register as a group. · Become One of Our Partners. · Purchase software’s · Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) View related courses GIS and Remote Sensing For Climate Change Impact Analysis and Adaptation Course GIS for Monitoring and Evaluation Course GIS for Monitoring and Evaluation Course GIS and remote sensing in multi hazard early warning systems Course The most popular courses · Resilience in Food Security Analysis Course · Introduction to Occupational Health and Safety Course · Analysis of Complex Sample Survey Data Course · M & E, Data Management & Analysis for Agriculture & Rural Development Programmes Course · Microsoft Access Training Course · ICT for Disaster Response Course · Change Management Course View GIS and Earth Observation Institute Course Catalogue For further inquiries, please contact us on Tel: +254 715 077 817, +254 (020) 211 3814 ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is arranged upon request.
