Fundamentals of GIS (Mapping and Spatial Analysis) using QGIS Trainings
This intensive course provides the foundation for: Understanding and appreciating GIS, What it can do, How others are using it in Humanitarian response (plan missions, mobilize and implement field teams and monitor and evaluate their effectiveness in real time).
Participants shall learn the basic functions of a GIS, GIS Terminology, and why GIS is powerful tool for data analysis, retrieval and visualization, Create maps, query a GIS database, and perform spatial analysis.
By the end of the training, participants can use their data to create maps, perform analysis, share information with their audience (colleagues, donors, government, non-GIS users etc)
Target Audience:
This course is for those who are new to geographic information systems (GIS) and wish to learn what GIS is and how one can use it in their area of specialization.
Course Content

Course Recap
This is a comprehensive ten days course designed to help participants learn and understand how to use GIS in projects Monitoring and Evaluation. The participants will be exposed to data collection, management, updating, analysis, visualization and reporting in a GIS environment. They will also learn how to integrate spatial and non-spatial data from different sources and displaying the same in a GIS environment.
At the end of the training, participants shall have learnt the following:
- Understanding and appreciating GIS, What it can do, and how others are using it in relation to M&E.
- Participants shall learn the basic functions of a GIS, GIS Terminology, and why GIS is powerful tool for data analysis, retrieval and visualization.
- In course exercises, students work with QGIS to visualize geographic data, create maps, query a GIS database, and perform spatial analysis in relation to M&E.
- The course shall provide a complete field to office mobile mapping workflow to the participants. Participants shall use their mobile devices to collect data, load the data into GIS and create maps from data collected.
- The course will enable the participants to also edit existing databases in the field and creating new data using field data collection techniques (Kobo Toolbox and ODK).
Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) is a comprehensive and user friendly statistical software for researchers providing visualization and data analytical tools.
Participants shall explore the statistical capabilities of SPSS ranging from simple percentages to complex analyses of variance, multiple regressions, and general linear models as well as to generate tabulated reports, charts and plots of distributions and trends.
Participants will review several statistical techniques, gain an understanding of when and why to use these various techniques as well as how to apply them with confidence, interpret their output, and graphically display the results.
