    Key Messages While some framework data are available in LMICs, there is a lack of coordinated effort to create and share these data to support health GIS research in these settings. Manual digitizing can be used to generate framework data, and is increasingly becoming cheaper and faster due to widely available free satellite imagery and open mapping standards that allow distributed data capture. Efforts to create framework data should be done in …
