Training Materials

A training manual for using Quantum GIS and the survey database was developed for training World Relief staff in June. The manual exercises are geared to both introduce the user to GIS and to help understand the relationship and utility of the survey data in planning. Each exercise culminated in a finished-product map that were exported to a pdf format.

The exercises include:
  • Adding Vector/Raster Layers
  • Map Composition Using Malawi Districts, Roads, Water Bodies/Rivers
  • Compare Image Resolutions – New Shp, Digitizing And Editing Layers
  • Find Widowed-Female-Headed Households That Have Dependents
  • Find Female-Headed Households That Earn 50,000 Mwk Or Less Per Year
  • Find Women-Headed Households That Earn Less Than 50,000 Mkw, That Are Not Within A 20 Minute Walk Of A Storage Facility
  • Farm Area - Rainfed Land
  • Root Growing Rainfed Farms Near River Irrigation Source

A final map output from the GIS training.
