This GeoSight project is a geospatial platform intended to provide an easy-to-use and open-source cartographic visualization of the CCRI-DRM Kenya model created by UNICEF. The CCRI-DRM is a subnational adaptation of the global Index for Risk Management (INFORM) model for identifying exposure levels to various hazards and vulnerabilities. This analysis is composed of two main pillars that are indexed and combined into a final risk score:
– Pillar 1: Exposure to Shocks & Stressors
– Pillar 2: Child Vulnerability
Reference layers have been added as incomplete but vital datasets that can improve contextual understanding of the lives of children where data is available.
The GeoSight platform, along with data visualization, provides various spatial analysis tools such as filters, widgets, and indicator-based analysis to allow for a full understanding of the situation. Similarly, context layers provide early warning systems and up-to-date monitoring that users can use to understand impending shocks.
Please note, that the number values of the shock exposure indicators included in the first pillar of the model are ESTIMATES of children under 18 exposed to the different types of shocks and stresses. These estimates are data derived from a combination of hazard and population layers and should not be treated as official or specific numbers.
