A further major contribution is a conceptual framework for spatial vulnerability assessment to identify hot spots in WP4 (4.1) and to effectively map disease risks and vulnerability (4.8) as a substantial element for the development of a decision support system in WP5. PLUS staff will also co-supervise (along with CGIS-NUR) one of the PhDs funded through HEALTHY FUTURES.
Mchango mwingine mkubwa ni namna utafiti utafanyika katika sehemu zinazokumbwa na hatari WP4 (4.1) na pia kuweza kutambua magonjwa yanayohatarisha na yanayoweza kudhuru (4.8) kama kipengele cha ufanisi katika kuwezesha kuweko kwa vifaa vya kutoa usaidizi katika WP5. Wafanyakazi wa PLUS (pamoja na CGIS-NUR) watasimamia mojawapo ya shahada za udaktari wa falsafa zinazothaminiwa na Mradi wa Afya Bora ya Baadaye.
