Mapping Benin Communes for Livelihood Improvement

Planning and Program Implementation Through Commune-Level Mapping 

Mapping Benin communes reveals insights that are vital to planning programs for livelihood improvement. Benin, a tropical country in West Africa, is divided into 12 departments which are further divided into 77 communes. These communes are sub-divided into arrondissements and villages or city districts. A careful study of each commune can show significant insights on planning for reducing poverty and improving the lives of rural people.

On a Benin map showing communes, you can overlay different layers of datasets for individual analysis. Then, you can color-code them to show which data layer stands out in each commune. For example, you can assign different colors or images to small-scale farmers, vegetable growers, cotton fields, and rural financial services.
