This study examined the feasibility of adding location information to the Somali HMIS using GIS. The final report outlined the added value and related risks of integrating GIS into HMIS; presented case studies highlighting important lessons from the use of GIS in health service planning in similar contexts elsewhere in the world; detailed the existing geospatial data sets for Somalia and provided guidance on whether these data sets could feasibly be used; summarised software options and outlined the next steps required to implement a GIS solution.
