Accessibility: Travel Time-Cost to Major Cities (Zimbabwe - ~ 1Km)

Accessibility to major cities dataset is modeled as raster-based travel time/cost analysis, computed for the largest cities (>20k habitants) in the country. This 500m resolution raster dataset is part of FAO's Hand-in-Hand Initiative, Geographical Information Systems - Multicriteria Decision Analysis (GIS-MCDA) aimed at the identification of value chain infrastructure sites (or optimal location). **Data publication:** 2022-11-28 **Contact points:** Metadata Contact: [FAO-Data](mailto:fao-data@fao.org) Resource Contact: [Dariia Nesterenko](mailto:dariia.nesterenko@fao.org) **Data lineage:** lineage statement Produced using 1. OpenStreetMap data for roads, railways, and rivers. 2. The HydroSHEDS 15' resolution GRID for the DEM. 3.
