Ghana Mobile Storage Location Score (Aggregated Production) V2
Ghana mobile storage location score consists of a raster grid covering the country with 0.01 decimal degrees resolution, produced under the scope of the sub-Saharan Covid-19 African Corridor project pilot case, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) for the identification and definition of mobile storage recommended locations (movable warehouses).
The modeling variables characterize supply, demand and accessibility, main logistical factors for warehousing facilities location. These variables are, major crops (supply), human population density (demand) and main transportation network infrastructure (accessibility).
Crops included in the production aggregate are the coutry's major crops (FAOStat data):Cassava, Yams, Plantains and cooking Bananas, Maize (corn), Taro, Cocoa beans, Rice, Groundnuts,
Oil palm fruit.
The location score results of a simple arithmetic weighted sum calculation (cell statistics) of normalized grids, generating a location score varying from 0 to 100.
The assumed weight for each of the criteria is as follows.
("Crop Production" * 0.4) + ("Human Population Density" * 0.2) + ("Port Accessibility" * 0.2) + ("Cities Accessibility" * 0.1) + ("Regional Cities Accessibility" * 0.1)

Two major sources were used, FAO GIS platform Hand-in-Hand and OpenStreetMap (open data) including the following datasets:
1. Human Population Density 2020 – WorldPop2020 - Estimated total number of people per grid-cell 1km.
2. Mapspam Production – IFPRI's Spatial Production Allocation Model (SPAM) estimates of crop distribution within disaggregated units
• Production (mt), Crops: cass, yams, pltn, maiz, orts, coco, rice, grou, oilp;
3. OpenStreetMap - Map of the world built by volunteers and released with open-content license. Community mapping using wiki-style collaborative editing software. The data was downloaded in ESRI SHP file format for the selected countries.
4. FAO Data – Rivers of Africa, Inland Waters of Africa, Airports, Ports;
