Project Snapshots

Innovative Modelling Approaches for Malaria Surveillance Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Problem Solution Existing models to monitor and react to the spread of malaria are retrospective with slow response times and are unidimensional § Use of a multi-dimensional approach to Malaria surveillance by looking at non-traditional sources of data besides existing sources § Development of a statistical model for monitoring malaria prevalence and transmission using network theory Results § Create a Decision Support toolkit Development of a near real-time surveillance model and simple recommendation engine for city governments– pilot testing during the highrisk season in the Indian city of Chennai

Wireframe for MLE Platform for Sanitation Service Delivery in Urban Centers Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation

Problem Lack of standardized reporting framework in the sanitation space that would allow comparison and identification of successful impact models Solution § Development of a City Maturity Framework including identification of key data gaps and assessment of the costs of filling these gaps § Design of an evidence map of interventions § Development of a BI tool with data from evidence mapping based on a portfolio of interventions identified in cities across the world Results § Piloting of the City Sanitation Maturity Framework and Evidence Tool for selected cities Design of an integrated, real-time MLE platform in the Fecal Sludge Management space. This will help continuous monitoring of sanitation service needs while also constantly providing evidence to aid in decision making for cities
