Early in the pandemic, the data community in Kenya had one question, “What is the data telling us?” We are joined by Yariwo Kitiyo, a geospatial consultant whose organization, Women in GIS, Kenya, was one of the partners working with Kenya’s Ministry of Health to answer this question. Yariwo explores the universe of data being collected around the virus and how governments are using this to evaluate vulnerability to COVID-19, map infections and vaccine uptake, and to make policy decisions on where to direct resources.
