Education Facilities in Niger from OpenStreetMap

OpenStreetMap data on education facilities in Niger, exported by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team. It includes schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities tagged via `amenity` or `building`. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-14.

Use Cases

• Map school access based on facility locations.
• Plan education infrastructure development based on existing facility distribution.
• Allocate educational resources using the geospatial inventory of schools and universities.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, and GEOJSON.
• Facilities are categorized using the established OpenStreetMap tagging schema (`amenity`, `building`).

Limitations

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