Mapping school accessibility in Africa: High-resolution spatial analysis # Modelling School Accessibility Across Africa This repository accompanies the following publication and dataset release. **Paper** Jaramillo‐Araujo, D., & Hall, J. W. (2026). Mapping School Accessibility in Africa: High‐Resolution Spatial Analysis Uncovers Inequalities in Education Access. Sustainable Development, sd.70920. doi.org **Data** The processed travel-time rasters generated in this study are archived on Zenodo: Travel Time Accessibility t… ## Repository Description This repository contains the workflow used to generate the travel-time accessibility analysis presented in the accompanying publication. The workflow is implemented with Snakemake and uses Python and R scripts. The main 90 m workflow is centered on AccessMod input preparation, manual AccessMod execution, output processing, and population-overlay analysis. ## Reproducibility This repository documents and reproduces the published workflow structure and processing steps. Important notes: - AccessMod model runs are external and manual. This repository prepares inputs and processes outputs. - Several upstream datasets are downloaded from third-party sources and remain subject to their own availability, versioning, and license terms. ## Setup Clone the repository: ```bash git clone git@github.com:dianajjaramillo/schools-access.git cd schools-access ``` Create and activate the environment (using micromamba): ```bash micromamba create -f environment.yaml micromamba activate schools ``` ## Required Credentials Some download rules require API credentials for third-party data providers. These credentials should be added to the `.env` file in the repository root. Users must generate their own API keys by following the instructions provided by the respective data providers. The following environment variables are required: - `GIGA_API_KEY` – API key for accessing the Giga school-location API. - `COPERNICUS_CDS_URL` – Copernicus Climate Data Store API …
