This dataset contains shapefiles for Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone from the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. Each country has its individual file. The dataset counts with contributions of hundreds of users. This dataset is updated daily.
The original dataset can be downloaded from the OSM West Africa Ebola response wiki.
We have provided the 3 word addresses of each health centre within the West African Region.
what3words is a simple, real-time, location referencing system which solves many of the key logistical issues facing aid and humanitarian organisations, for whom street addresses, GPS co-ordinates, and other systems don't exist or are problematic.
Using words means non-technical people can find any location more accurately and most importantly, communicate it more quickly, more easily and with less ambiguity than any other system.

Here we provide version 1 Flowminder (www.flowminder.org) human mobility models for West Africa, together with WorldPop population density data for the region, to support ongoing efforts to control the ebola outbreak. Before downloading any data, please read the documention carefully as it provides details on the datasets and models provided through the links below. The mobility data refer to estimated patterns before the Ebola outbreak and should be interpreted with caution for Ebola affected countries as mobility patters are known to have changed.

The Database of Government Actions on COVID-19 in Developing Countries collates and tracks national policies and actions in response to the pandemic, with a focus on developing countries.
The database provides information for 20 Global South countries – plus 6 Global North countries for reference – that Dalberg staff are either based in or know well. The database content is drawn from publicly available information combined, crucially, with on-the-ground knowledge of Dalberg staff.
The database contains a comprehensive set of 100 non-pharmaceutical interventions – organized in a framework intended to make it easy to observe common variations between countries in the scope and extent of major interventions. Interventions we are tracking include:
• Health-related: strengthening of healthcare systems, detection and isolation of actual / possible cases, quarantines
• Policy-related: government coordination and legal authorization, public communications and education, movement restrictions
• Distancing and hygiene: social distancing measures, movement restrictions, decontamination of physical spaces
• Economic measures: economic and social measures, logistics / supply chains and security.
We hope the database will be a useful resource for several groups of users: (i) governments and policymakers looking for a quick guide to actions taken by different countries—including a range of low- and middle-income countries, (ii) policy analysts and researchers studying the data to identify patterns of actions taken and compare the effectiveness of different interventions in curbing the pandemic, and (iii) media and others seeking to quickly access facts about the actions taken by governments in the countries covered in the database.

This dataset contains a link to a Google Spreadsheet containing lists of the health facilities (including the facility name, status, facility type, location etc) in Guinea, Liberia, Mali and Sierra Leone. The data was compiled by the Standby Task Force from various sources.
EbolaGeonode was a partnership platform for sharing geospatial data, analysis and maps related to the Ebola emergency response. The platform was intended to minimize the time that GIS analysts spend locating up-to-date data. Users were able to make maps on the fly, view metadata, and access the reports behind GIS layers. Curators worked to ensure that the layers were recent, clean, useful, and legally and technically open.

Total number of existing beds in EVD treatment units. Extracted from WHO: Ebola Response Roadmap Situation Reports, the latest of which was on 31 December 2014.

This dataset contains the daily summaries on base stations across Guinea. The four indicators included are:
* TPCP: Total precipitation
* MXSD: Maximum snow depth
* TSNW: Total snow fall
* EMXP: Extreme maximum daily precipitation
Indicators are compiled by the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), which is administrated by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) an organization part of the United States government. NOAA has access to data collected from thousands of base stations around the world, which collect data periodically on weather and climate conditions.
This dataset contains the latest 5 years of available data.
The urban indicators data available here are analyzed, compiled and published by UN-Habitat’s Global Urban Observatory which supports governments, local authorities and civil society organizations to develop urban indicators, data and statistics. Urban statistics are collected through household surveys and censuses conducted by national statistics authorities. Global Urban Observatory team analyses and compiles urban indicators statistics from surveys and censuses. Additionally, Local urban observatories collect, compile and analyze urban data for national policy development. Population statistics are produced by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, World Urbanization Prospects.
Overview of the total outreach from the 18 national associations in West and Central Africa. Detailed data set on the services provided at the national level will be available soon
This data set contains information about to the Ebola treatment centres, Isolation centres and transit centres in regards to the West Africa Ebola outbreak. The dataset is updated daily.
