HEALTHY FUTURES Atlas: An Open-source WebGIS to Support Infectious Disease Intervention Planning in Eastern Africa

The European (EC FP7-funded) HEALTHY FUTURES project aims at improving anticipation of climate change effects on three water related vector-borne diseases (malaria, schistosomiasis, and Rift Valley fever) in eastern Africa. The intention of the HEALTHY FUTURES Atlas is to present key project results, and to support decision makers in identifying context and place-specific interventions. The Atlas provides information on past, present, and future conditions of risk and its components (hazard, vulnerability) to the three diseases, and allows the exploration of results through interactive tools.
