Track: Sustainable Development
Authors: Keri Kugler

In 2016 Water For People implemented ArcGIS Pro in 9 countries in Africa, Asia & Latin America to spatially analyze & visualize 5+ years of data to better program interventions to achieve SDG 6 & help families, schools & clinics access universal & reliable water & sanitation services. This included training local staff in all 9 countries to use ArcGIS Pro and so far has been used to understand: gaps in services, how far people walk to collect water, and market analysis of sanitation businesses.
