Burkina Faso Risk Assessment Indicators at Admin Level 2

Burkina Faso Risk Assessment Indicators provides district-level (admin 2) data for flood hazard analysis and resilience planning. Developed by the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology (HeiGIT) and updated in 2026, the dataset aggregates demographic, infrastructure, and accessibility metrics from WorldPop and OpenStreetMap.

Use Cases

• Evaluating disaster resilience by correlating coping_capacity with flood_exposure indicators
• Planning health interventions using access_pop_primary_healthcare_30min to identify underserved districts
• Targeting humanitarian aid based on the elderly and children_u5 population counts in high-risk zones

Strengths

• Standardized ADM2_PCODE for interoperability with HDX Common Operational Datasets
• Granular travel-time accessibility metrics for hospitals and primary healthcare at 30, 60, and 120-minute intervals
• Integration of high-resolution WorldPop demographic data with OpenStreetMap infrastructure counts

Limitations

• OpenStreetMap-derived facility counts like education_count may be incomplete in remote or conflict-affected areas
• Temporal alignment between WorldPop demographics and OSM facility data may vary depending on local mapping activity
