Geographical Information Systems (GIS)- English

1. GIS in Monitoring and Evaluation

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.

2. GIS Fundamentals

This intensive course provides the foundation for:
Understanding and appreciating GIS, What it can do and How others are using it.
Participants shall learn the basic functions of a GIS, GIS Terminology, 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)

3. Advanced GIS

This course is intended for users already familiar with the basics of QGIS and who wants to
improve their skills.  The course will focus on Advanced Analysis regarding the management
and manipulation of raster data, spatial analysis, using PostGIS and relational databases. The course
is structured in units with different levels of difficulty to help the student learn to handle the advanced QGIS tools.

4. Mobile GIS and Mapping (Kobo Toolbox, ODK, COMMCARE, QField, Survey123)

This course aims at providing a complete field to office mobile mapping workflow to the participants. Participants shall use their mobile devices (Mobile Phones, Tablets and GPS) 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, ODK, COMMCARE, QField)

5. Web GIS and Mapping

Web mapping is the process of using maps delivered by geographical information systems (GIS) on the internet through client- server architecture.
Web mapping usually involves a web browser to consume services.
These services include serving interactive maps, GIS data and location based services.
Participants will learn how to prepare and share geographic information so that it can effectively be used by colleagues, decision-makers, and non-GIS audiences.

6. ARCGIS Pro:

ArcGIS Pro is a full-featured professional desktop GIS application you can use to explore, visualize, and analyze data; create 2D maps and 3D scenes; and share your work to ArcGIS Online or your ArcGIS Enterprise portal.

This fundamentals course shall explore the following:

• Explore the full spectrum of tools and capabilities of this powerful tool

• Overview of ArcGIS Pro

• Differences between Pro and Desktop

• Overview of key topics associated with pro

• Creating a map from start to finish

7. ARCGIS Online:

This is a comprehensive ten days course designed to help participants learn and understand how to use ArcGIS online, a cloud based mapping platform that offers collaboration tools for creating, visualizing, editing and sharing spatial information and also learn how to use ArcGIS Survey123 to create surveys, get answers and analyze results.
