DESCRIPTION:This mapping project is part of a broader USAID campaign which 
 aims to help Zambia shift more power to its local communities. By empoweri
 ng local Zambian citizens\, this will allow them to prioritize services th
 at will have immediate and positive impacts on their daily lives\, such as
  reduced waiting times in health clinics\, better lighting\, or improved s
 olid waste management.\nBy mapping buildings and roads you are supporting 
 the ability for local Zambians to identify where these services are needed
 \, and providing an evidence base for them to seek future public or privat
 e sector support.\nExisting gender dynamics in Zambia make equitable parti
 cipation in this shift of power to local communities challenging. To count
 er this\, the campaign aims to increase the capability of women and girls 
 to realize their social\, political and economic advancement at the local 
 level. In addition\, the campaign aims to reduce gender disparities in acc
 ess to and control over local opportunities and services.
