Nigeria health-access planning
Health Desert Scorer
Web-based decision support to identify LGAs with higher practical barriers to care, then prioritize outreach with transparent, map-first evidence.
Quick start
- Open the app and select a state (or All Nigeria).
- Select a year and focus (all risk, child mortality, facility access, connectivity, 5km coverage).
- Review map layers and the highest-need LGA list.
Who this helps
- Frontline health teams and NGO programs.
- Government policy units and implementation partners.
- Donors, researchers, and students working on geographic prioritization.
Responsible use
- Planning support only, not diagnosis.
- Always pair with field validation and local context.
- Do not use as the sole basis for high-stakes decisions.
