The 500 m raster dataset represents selected top location score areas filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads, access to IT, and distance to urban areas. The layer was produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location.
The location score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs characterizing logistical factors for the slaughterhouse facilities siting: Demand, Supply, Infrastructure/accessibility.
Access to finance, distance to roads, and urban areas are defined using a linear distance threshold:
• Banks - approx. 10km
• Major roads - approx. 5km
• Electrification - approx. 5km
Access to IT and electricity is characterized by applying the mobile broadband coverage map and the Atlas AI Electrification map.
