As part of the “Geospatial Assessment of Women Employment and Business Opportunities in the Energy Sector” project, open-source Gender-related spatial data was collected for 31 Small Island Developing States (SIDS) across the globe, resulting in curated and thoroughly documented geodatabases (GDBs) that are now ready to be explored! 
Fifty-nine spatial layers were identified and then researched for each country, covering the following categories: Demographics and Population | Renewable Energy | Energy Access | Education | Jobs and Finance | Digital Inclusion | Transportation | Safety | Amenities | Climate/Earth | Law/Policy/Government. 


However, not every country GDB contains all 59 data layers, as this was dependent on the availability of open-source data in each SIDS. Users are encouraged to check the accompanying metadata excel file for more information on the datasets in each GDB, the vintage, and the

The World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives explores the tremendous potential of the changing data landscape to improve the lives of poor people, while also acknowledging its potential to open back doors that can harm individuals, businesses, and societies. To address this tension between the helpful and harmful potential of data, this Report calls for a new social contract that enables the use and reuse of data to create economic and social value, ensures equitable access to that value, and fosters trust that data will not be misused in harmful ways. The data used in the WDR2021 are curated as a collection here.

Nigeria

The Nigerian Government has prioritized improving the quality of healthcare delivery throughout its care facilities. There are multiple facets to implementing successful quality improvement processes, including providing a transparent system with quantifiable outcome measures and ensuring workforce engagement for healthcare providers. The government project team contracted a healthcare management consulting firm to provide support to 80 primary healthcare facilities in six Nigerian states to meet international healthcare standards. The IE was designed to measure the effectiveness of two different levels of consulting services on healthcare quality outcomes: - Treatment A consisted of the "full package" of consulting services, including an initial extensive quality assessment, action plans, and continuous feedback and support. - Treatment B was "information only". The consulting firm conducted the baseline quality assessment and provided initial feedback in the form of a report on these indicators, which was presented to center staff. Treatment B did not provide hands-on tutelage throughout the quality improvement process.

Nigeria - Quality Improvement and Clinical Governance Initiative - Piloting Quality Improvement Packages in Primary Care Centers Impact Evaluation 2014-2016

Series Name: Impact Evaluation Study Series Info: While maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) outcomes are improving in Nigeria, the rate of improvement is not sufficient to meet the MDGs related to child and maternal health. Nigeria’s under-5 mortality rate, estimated to be 124 deaths per 1000 live births in 2012 is one of the highest in the World. In fact, UNICEF (2012) ranked Nigeria as the country with the 12th highest under 5 mortality rate in the world. The Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) is addressing these challenges by introducing important reforms and is committed to learning which of these are working and worth scaling up. Evidence on the causal impact of past and ongoing quality improvement programs is, however, lacking, and so the scope for using previous experience to reliably guide future policy and program design is limited. Assessing and improving the quality of healthcare delivery in developing countries has been recognized as a priority by the WHO and other health agencies (WHO 2006; Institute of Medicine, 2001). In this context, the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health proposes to experimentally evaluate variants of a healthcare management consulting intervention to enhance the quality of health care, especially maternal, newborn, and child health care. The consulting program studied in this IE aims at improving service quality and patient safety at primary healthcare centers (PHCs) by relaying information to providers and through mentoring and tutelage. Service quality and patient safeties are systemic healthcare challenges throughout Nigeria and the broader region. The goal is to impact provider knowledge and behavior, improving effort, and ultimately health outcomes, patient safety and patient satisfaction. This program is implemented jointly by the Ministry and the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA). As data sources to measure and quantify the impact, the IE will use a combination of PHC administrative data, facility-level survey data, the tools developed by the healthcare consulting firm, the SDI and SURE-P surveys, as well as additional instruments to assess the quality of care. - The Service Delivery Indicators (SDI) is an initiative by the World Bank, in partnership with the African Economic Research Consortium and the African Development Bank, that collects data on service delivery in schools and health facilities across Africa. - The SURE-P MCH Program is an ambitious initiative to tackle key supply and demand-side constraints to the effective delivery of maternal and child health services in order to improve Nigeria’s MCH outcomes. SURE-P MCH will incorporate a set of four IEs looking at various pre-identified supply and demand-side challenges. The SURE-P baseline data collection was carried out in September and October of 2013. All 80 clinics of the QE project were featured in this data collection. From this data, information on facility characteristics and staffing details are being reflected in this report. - As part of the quality improvement program, the healthcare management consulting firm Pharm Access Safe Care conducted a baseline quality of care assessment in the 48 clinics that comprise treatment groups A and B. The baseline assessment included 829 indicators (of which not all are applicable to the QE context). For the 24 clinics of Treatment Group A (“full treatment”), the firm also created “Quality Improvement Plans” (QIPs). In order to track progress over time and in order to increase the statistical power of the study, the research team decided to conduct a monthly high-frequency data collection (HFDC) as a follow up instrument Data Processing Notes: The scope of the study includes: - Facility: General facility information, infrastructure, availability of equipment, materials, drugs, and supplies - Staff roster: List of all health workers by cadre type - Clinical knowledge assessment: Clinical knowledge using 5 medical vignettes + 2 vignettes for maternal &amp; newborn complications - Public expenditure: Collects receipts and spending (monetary and in-kind) by health facilities - Exit module: User satisfaction, socio-demographic characteristics &amp; payments.
