Geospatial Value Pipeline Assessment in Nigeria

Aiming to enhance health programs’ impact in Nigeria, the assessment utilized a robust framework called the value pipeline model, encompassing crucial components like data generation, analysis, and operationalization.

Dev-Afrique, in collaboration with DevGlobal and DevIndia, partnered with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s Geospatial Insights Support Team (BMGF – GIST) to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Nigeria’s health geospatial ecosystem in 2022. Aiming to enhance health programs’ impact in Nigeria, the assessment utilized a robust framework called the value pipeline model, encompassing crucial components like data generation, analysis, and operationalization.

This framework also addressed cross-cutting pillars such as policy and governance, stakeholder coordination, and capacity building. Through interviews with 35 organizations from various sectors, Dev-Afrique gathered insights and organized a stakeholder validation workshop to prioritize gaps based on feasibility and impact.

The findings of the value pipeline assessment revealed that despite advancements, significant gaps persist within Nigeria’s health geospatial ecosystem. Issues highlighted included the absence of a centralized geospatial data repository, delayed national geospatial infrastructure policy implementation, and a shortage of geospatial data skills. The assessment report has become a catalyst for positive change, inspiring action, innovation, collaboration, and policy development within Nigeria’s health geospatial ecosystem.
