Welcome to the Ghana Hub
Give me a spin, I'm your Data Hub prototype in action!
The Data Hub serves as a dynamic spatio-temporal information platform, tailored to the data practices of researchers in infectious diseases and public stakeholders engaged in epidemic preparedness and response. It offers an integrated view of various Data Layers relevant to Ghana, spanning multiple categories such as socio-demographic, environmental, weather, health, and infrastructure. These layers are compiled from user-based and open data sources (with some layers originating from the same source) to support data analysis and decision-making.
The hub currently holds 277 shapes, from the following types:
More details and in-depth documentation of each Data Layer can be accessed via its documentation page, including metadata information.
