Education Facilities in Mali from OpenStreetMap

Mali's education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, are mapped via OpenStreetMap tags. The data is sourced from the collaborative OpenStreetMap project and exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. Coverage likely reflects volunteer mapper activity, with urban areas typically better represented than remote regions.

Use Cases

• Map school access and proximity based on geospatial point data.
• Plan education infrastructure and resource allocation based on facility locations.
• Analyze geographic distribution of educational amenities for equity assessments.

Strengths

• Data is derived from OpenStreetMap, a free, collaborative world map.
• Includes multiple facility types (schools, kindergartens, colleges, universities).
• Available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, KML, GEOJSON, JSON).

Limitations

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