The 500m raster dataset represents selected top location score areas filtered by exclusive criteria: access to finance, distance to major roads, access to IT. 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 dairy processing facilities siting: Supply, demand, Infrastructure/accessibility. The top 99th percentile is selected/clipped using the exclusive criteria.
Access to finance, distance to roads and urban areas are defined using a linear distance threshold:
• Banks - approx. 20km (0.18 degree) buffer radius.
• Major roads - approx. 2km (0.018 degree) buffer radius.
Access to IT is characterized applying the mobile broadband coverage map.
