Education Facilities in Haiti from OpenStreetMap for Access Mapping

Education facilities in Haiti, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, tagged via OpenStreetMap's `amenity` or `building` keys. The dataset is part of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team's exports grid on HDX and was last updated on 2026-06-19. Coverage reflects volunteer mapping activity, which may be sparse in remote areas.

Use Cases

• Map school access and catchment areas based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure and resource allocation based on facility distribution.
• Analyze urban versus remote coverage for equity assessments based on the description of mapping activity.

Strengths

• Data is sourced from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including GEOPACKAGE, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Released under the ODbL-1.0 license, allowing for open use and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Coverage is uneven, with urban areas likely well-represented and remote areas sparse, as noted in the description.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
