The main objective of this mapathon was to identify buildings and roads in the Shinyanga District to support those working on the PEPFAR HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment initiative. With this area mapped, PEPFAR and its stakeholders will better be able to establish how communities are connected by roads to understand whether essential HIV/AIDS services are being offered in the right places.
Lengo kubwa la mapathon hii lilikuwa ni kutambua/kuonyesha majengo na barabara katika wilaya ya Shinyanga ili kusaidia watu wanaofanya kazi na PEPFAR, mpango wa kuzuia na tiba dhidi ya Virusi Vya Ukimwi. Eneo hili likitengenezewa ramani, PEPFAR na wadau wake wataweza kuonyesha ni jinsi gani jamii zinaunganishwa na barabara na kuelewa kama huduma muhimu za virusi vya Ukimwi zinatolewa katika maeneo sahihi.
