Summary
The project GRID3 Mapping for Health in DRC (GRID3 M4H), implemented from 2020 to 2022, aimed to strengthen the effectiveness and equity of vaccination interventions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) by using novel data and methods and through capacity strengthening.
As part of this larger project, we were tasked with providing a range of technical assistance and data inputs. As part of our work to produce nationwide estimates of routine and sudden-onset population movements, a telephone survey among phone users in the DRC was designed, commissioned and analysed in order to gain empirical insights into phone use and mobility in the DRC.
The objective of the phone survey was also to validate Flowminder’s methods of production of mobility estimates based on Call Detail Records (CDRs), particularly of key concepts (home location, mobility, migration), and to learn about the socio-demographic structure of phone users in the DRC.
