Geospatial Mapping of Children’s Homes in Uganda 2023

The aims of collecting the geospatial data were to (a) identify the “hot spots” i.e., areas with high concentration of children’s homes and/or children in residential care, (b) create a database of existing children’s Homes. Geospatial data and detailed information about each home was collected using QField, an open-source field data collection app and cloud storage service that allows for on-site data entry on GPS-enabled mobile devices. The tool gives flexibility to sync the data collected in the field to QGIS for monitoring and visualization.
