The aim of this project is to co-curate an “emergency settings” for initiating an MDA for malaria risks in selected countries and regions in the Western Rift for MSF. Leveraging the established spatial indicators for identifying malaria risks including weather, seasonality of malaria incidence, proximity to healthcare facilities, additional stressors like population influx and humanitarian crises can increase the disease burden in the affected region. Hence, t0 initiate an MDA, we need to identify cases of these emergency settings across our selected countries: 1.) DRC, 2.) Rwanda, 3.) Uganda, and 4.) Burundi. Here, we document the relative data conditions for migration flows in the respective countries at different spatial scales.
