The objecve of the project is to improve the knowledge of the above vector-borne diseases and their vulnerability to climate variability for rural populaon in both countries by using advanced geospaal technology. Acvies: Develop a geospaal database on the above-menoned diseases including temperature, precipitaon, land cover, socio-economic condions etc. for the most disease exposure regions in two countries; idenfy trends in epidemiological paerns; idenfy vulnerable locaons and risk factors, and mapping health vulnerability to malaria and dengue. This acvity matches with APN's Focus Acvies of developing high-resoluon earth observaonal datasets that can contribute to filling data gaps as well as sharing of public health-oriented data. Outputs and outcomes: Build science - based knowledge for adapon planning and decision making in health sector via informing risk and vulnerability. This contributes to APN's high priority acvies in development and ulizaon of vulnerability and risk assessments, and ulizaon of available informaon including climate data in applicaons for adaptaon. The project results will support adapon planning and decision making in health sector via providing disease informaon and vulnerability.

Utilizing geospatial technology to assess health vulnerability to climate change for rural population in Vietnam and Philippines
A project sponsored by APN (Code: CAF2015-RR16-NMY-Pham)
Implement Time: 2015-2017
Objectives: Dengue and malaria are considered the most health burden under changing climate in Vietnam and Philippines, where impacts of climate change
appear severely due to more frequent flooding and typhoons. The objective of the project is to improve the knowledge of the above vector-borne diseases and
their vulnerability to climate variability for rural population in both countries by using advanced geospatial technology.
Activities: Develop a geospatial database on the above-mentioned diseases including temperature, precipitation, land cover, socio-economic conditions etc. for
the most disease exposure regions in two countries; identify trends in epidemiological patterns; identify vulnerable locations and risk factors, and mapping health
vulnerability to malaria and dengue. This activity matches with APN's Focus Activities of developing high-resolution earth observational datasets that can
contribute to filling data gaps as well as sharing of public health-oriented data.
Outputs and outcomes: Build science - based knowledge for adaption planning and decision making in health sector via informing risk and vulnerability. This
contributes to APN's high priority activities in development and utilization of vulnerability and risk assessments, and utilization of available information including
climate data in applications for adaptation. The project results will support adaption planning and decision making in health sector via providing disease
information and vulnerability.
