Somalia Education Facilities from OpenStreetMap for Access Mapping

Somalia's education facilities, including schools, kindergartens, colleges, and universities, exported from OpenStreetMap. The data is contributed by volunteers and curated by the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, with a last recorded update on 2026-05-14. Completeness varies by region, with urban areas likely more thoroughly mapped than remote ones.

Use Cases

• Map school access and coverage based on facility locations.
• Plan education resource allocation based on the distribution of schools and universities.
• Analyze education infrastructure density for urban and regional planning.

Strengths

• Data is available in multiple geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, KML, SHP, GEOJSON, JSON).
• Explicitly includes facilities tagged as `amenity` or `building` in OpenStreetMap.

Limitations

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