CASE STUDY 03Data & Field

Statewide Facilities Mapping

A statewide field campaign that turned incomplete facility lists into a verified, geolocated register of 1,500+ health and education facilities across all 18 LGAs.

The challenge

A state geographic information agency needed a reliable, geolocated inventory of the state’s health and educational facilities. Existing lists were incomplete, duplicated, and unmapped — nobody could say with confidence how many facilities existed, where they were, or what condition they were in.

Without that baseline, siting and investment decisions were being made on guesswork.

Our approach

Digital-first field collection

Trained enumerators using mobile data collection tools with GPS capture, structured forms, photos, and built-in validation — no paper.

Facility databases, not just points

Each facility recorded with location, type, ownership, services, staffing, and condition — deduplicated and quality-checked.

QA at every stage

Field supervision, automated validation rules, and desk review before any record entered the master database.

Decision-ready outputs

Clean geodatabases, facility distribution maps, and gap analysis by administrative area.
