Education Facilities in Guinea-Bissau from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data for Guinea-Bissau includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building`. The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) exported this data, last updated on 2026-05-17. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas typically better mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on geospatial point data.
• Plan education infrastructure based on facility locations.
• Allocate resources by analyzing the distribution of schools and universities.
• Cross-reference OSM facility data with local field knowledge for validation.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly includes facilities tagged as `amenity` or `building`.
• Last updated date is precisely recorded (2026-05-17 09:27:55.247814).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Completeness varies by region; remote areas may be incomplete.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
