Document-Based GIS Portfolio
Climate-Resilient Development Projects in Zambia
This GIS section now reflects the projects captured in the Herrick submission document. Each project card combines a concise programme brief, implementation details, and an embedded map view using representative coordinates based on the named project locations.
Source: Request for Information-Herrick Submission document.
Coordinates are representative approximations based on the project locations named in the document so the GIS component remains visible and useful. These summary figures and visuals now update from the live project records shown in the admin system.
