| Summary: | The paper presents the development and
implementation of a geo-spatial model for mapping
populations' access to specified types of water and
sanitation services in Nigeria. The analysis uses
geo-located, population-representative data from the
National Water and Sanitation Survey 2015, along with
relevant geo-spatial covariates. The model generates
predictions for levels of access to seven indicators of
water and sanitation services across Nigeria at a resolution
of 1×1 square kilometers. The predictions promise to hone
the targeting of policies meant to improve access to basic
services in various regions of the country. |
