@PauleOuma Yes, good points! The impact of displaced DHS loc has been tested (Fig.3), WorldPop is only used in the last part of the analysis (Fig.4), so doesn't really impact results. Of course, spatial res and location of facilities may influence. CCL only valid using coarse and open data

@CatherineLinard Interesting analysis, I wonder to what extent the results are influenced by location of facilities, displaced DHS loc, the spatial resolution of analysis and accuracy of the population data (Worldpop use facility loc thus potential circularity in accessibility analysis)

New paper: “We suggest that using cost-distance accessibility maps over Euclidean distance is not always relevant, especially when based on low resolution and/or non-exhaustive geographical datasets, which is often the case in LMICs.” doi.org/10.1186/s12942…
