NOTE: This data release is superseded by the dataset "GRID3 COD - Religious Centers v1.0".

The "GRID3 DRC Religious Centers - Haut-Katanga, Kasaï, Kasaï-Oriental, Kinshasa, and Lomami Provinces, Version 01" dataset consists of religious center points with names and health catchment area attributes in the provinces of Haut-Katanga, Kasaï, Kasaï-Oriental, Kinshasa, and Lomami, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). This dataset is one of 5 datasets - along with the Settlements, Health Facilities, Health Catchment Area Boundaries, and Schools datasets - included in this Version 01 release.

This work was accomplished through engagement by the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) with the mandated authorities in the DRC Ministry of Health in support of data collection and development for immunization planning. Local healthcare workers were directly involved in the mapping of the health catchment area boundaries at participatory events coordinated with in-country provincial coordinators and mappers, and in the collection of data in the field from January - July 2021.

This work has been undertaken as part of the GRID3 Mapping for Health in the DRC project. Supported by Gavi through its INFUSE initiative, GRID3 Mapping for Health in DRC is a Ministry of Health initiative, delivered in partnership with Flowminder and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network at Columbia University (CIESIN), and in collaboration with the WorldPop research group at the University of Southampton (UoS), Kinshasa School of Public Health, UNFPA, UNOPS and Novel-T. GRID3 Mapping for Health in DRC is a continuation of previous work conducted and/or supported in DRC by the Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) programme.
