# Kenya Health Equity Map Open-source, offline-first digital platform for health equity monitoring across Kenya's 47 counties. Maps health access inequity using the **Priority Gap Score (PGS)** -- a transparent, verifiable composite of travel time, poverty, and facility density. **Live platform:** geraldkombo.github.io **Target users:** County Health Management Teams (CHMTs), Community Health Promoters, CBOs, CLM peer networks, Ministry of Health planners, and health equity researchers. **Value proposition:** Translates complex public health data into printable, source-cited evidence that communities and decision-makers use to negotiate resource allocation and plan interventions. --- ## SDG Alignment This platform directly supports: - **SDG 3 -- Good Health and Well-being:** By identifying infrastructure gaps, the tool enables targeted resource allocation to reduce preventable mortality and improve access to care. - **SDG 10 -- Reduced Inequalities:** The Priority Gap Score quantifies within-country disparities, making visible the inequities that affect rural and marginalised populations. --- ## Privacy **This platform uses no cookies, requires no authentication or login, and performs zero user tracking.** All data is served as static JSON files at build time. No user data is collected, stored, or transmitted. The map tiles are served via CARTO with client-side rendering only -- no user coordinates or session data leave the browser. --- ## Data Sources | Source | Data | License | |--------|------|---------| | KNBS 2019 Census | County population | Open Data | | KIHBS 2015/16 | Poverty estimates | Restricted (registered) | | KDHS 2022 | Skilled birth attendance, immunization | Restricted (registered) | | ICPAC/KEMRI | Health facility locations | CC-BY-4.0 | | IEBC / KNBS GIS | County boundaries | Open Data / CC-BY-4.0 | | WHO AccessMod | Travel time methodology | GPL-3.0 | | OpenStreetMap | Road network, land cove …
