Data sources

In the project, Project Connect Phase III, UNICEF was able to provide a preliminary list of schools in Rwanda (4,233 schools), Sierra Leone (9,516), Honduras (17,534), Kazakhstan (7,410), and Kenya (20,381). DevSeed Data Team added available schools (> 52, 000 schools) from OpenStreetMap for nine countries that were developing CNN models. Note: school data from Niger, Mali, Chad, and Sudan were used to train Niger country CNN models, therefore, we trained six-country models from the listed nine countries.
