SUBNATIONAL TAILORING TOOLS

Three tools support the subnational tailoring (SNT) workflow — from district-level risk scoring, through health facility catchment area (HFCA) mapping, to scenario building for intervention targeting. Two run in the browser; one is an Excel workbook you download.

1. District Risk Scoring Tool (Excel)

An Excel workbook for district-level malaria risk stratification across all 116 districts. It combines six epidemiological and health-system indicators into a weighted composite score and five adjustable risk groups. Update district data, adjust indicator weights and scoring direction, revise incidence-zone and risk-group cutoffs, or add up to four custom indicators. Optional, documented score overrides, province-filtered summaries, and a stacked chart of each district’s score contributions support review and decision-making.

2. HFCA Voronoi Incidence Mapping Tool (Shiny)

An interactive Shiny app for the HFCA Voronoi incidence pipeline. Upload a facility list (org-unit UID, lat/lon, cases, catchment population), choose a geographic scope (whole country, province, or district), run the tessellation, preview the map, and download GIS / CSV / RDS / image outputs — no R required. Zambia boundaries are built in.

Workshop sample datasets

These files can be uploaded to the HFCA Mapping Tool. The records are synthetic and contain a small number of intentional data-quality issues for a cleaning exercise.

Group 1 — Southern, Northern, and Lusaka (.csv)
Group 2 — Eastern, Muchinga, and Luapula (.csv)
Group 3 — Northwestern, Copperbelt, and Western (.csv)

3. SNT Scenario Builder (web app)

A browser-based tool to build, quantify, and compare malaria intervention-mix scenarios on the two-stage SNT targeting grid. Toggle interventions by risk group × incidence zone, view a live map, and see covered-population and commodity estimates with national, provincial, district, risk-group, and incidence rollups. Runs entirely client-side.
