Education Facilities in Central African Republic from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities in the Central African Republic, tagged via `amenity` or `building`. The dataset was last updated on 2026-06-24 and is provided by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT). Coverage reflects where volunteer mappers have been active, with urban areas typically well represented.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on the locations of tagged education facilities.
• Plan education infrastructure investments based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Allocate educational resources based on the geographic concentration of facilities.

Strengths

• Data is provided in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• The dataset is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage is uneven, with remote areas likely sparse compared to well-mapped urban areas.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
