Accessibility to major cities dataset is modeled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis, computed for the largest cities (>100k habitants) in the country.
This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO's Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (or optimal location).
