    regional cities demand dataset is modelled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis and weighted using the population/market size dimension as a measure of demand. Individual cumulative travel time/cost maps were produced for major regional cities (>250k habitants) less than 500 km from the border. The final market/demand layer consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of the normalized (0-100) city accessibility grids. The following values were assumed: City - Country - Population - Weight % Nairobi - KEN - 4,397,073 - 0.277 Kampala - UGA - 2,094,000 - 0.132 Mombasa - KEN - 1,208,333 - 0.076 Lilongwe - MWI - 1,055,700 - 0.067 Kigali - RWA - 859,332 - 0.054 Blantyre - MWI - 830,100 - 0.052 Nampula - MOZ - 663,212 - 0.042 This 1km 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 (optimal location).

    Accessibility to major cities dataset is modelled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis, computed for the 10 largest cities (>200k habitants) in the country, normalized from 0 to 100, where 0 corresponds to the lowest city accessibility. The following cities are included: City - Population Dar es Salaam - 4,364,541 Mwanza - 706,453 Zanzibar - 501,459 Arusha - 416,442 Mbeya - 385,279 Morogoro - 305,840 Tanga - 221,127 Kigoma - 215,458 Dodoma - 213,636 Songea - 203,309 This 1km 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)

    Raster representing potential/suitability score for non-intensive and integrated, small-scale, African Catfish and Nile Tilapia, freshwater fish farming systems, using ponds and small water bodies (SWB) in Nigeria. Produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location. Non-intensive aquaculture systems are considered based on natural food supply from SWB or ponds, from integrated systems (crop/livestock byproducts or waste), or with complementary feeding resourcing to on-farm or locally produced feed. The score results from combining sub-model outputs that characterize natural geographical and economical factors: 1. farm-gate sales - based on population density classification 2. Water balance - precipitation/evapotranspiration 3. Soil/slope suitability. 4. Inputs - Crop and livestock byproducts It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100): ("WaterBalance" X 0.5) + ("Soil/Slope " X 0.25) + (“Byproducts” X 0.125) + (”FarmgateSales” X 0.125)

    Accessibility to major urban areas is modelled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis, computed considering the following thresholds: urban>1600 habitants/km², area>50km² (totaling 52 urban regions). Accessibility is calculated using roads intersection points with urban areas polygons (639 access points). This 1km 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)

    Accessibility to ports dataset is modelled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis, normalized from 0 to 100, where 0 corresponds to the lowest accessibility. The model travel time/cost from/to ports is defined for major maritime ports only, although major lake ports as those in Lake Victoria can have some relevance considering the export markets in neighboring countries that can be reached through them. This 1km 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 (optimal location).

    The raster dataset consists of a 500 m score grid for dairy processing industry facilities siting, produced under the scope of FAO’s Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis for value chain infrastructure location. The analysis is based on sheep dairy production intensification potential, defined using crop production, livestock production systems, and cattle distribution. The score is achieved by processing sub-model outputs that characterize logistical factors: 1. Supply - Feed, livestock production systems, dairy distribution. 2. Demand - Human population density, large cities, urban areas. 3. Infrastructure - Transportation network (accessibility) It consists of an arithmetic weighted sum of normalized grids (0 to 100): (”Dairy Intensification” * 0.4) + ("Crop Production" * 0.3) + (“Major Cities Accessibility” * 0.2) + (“Population Density” * 0.1)
