Project Structure

• MENA Counries directory: contains a directory per countries.
• countries directories: each country directory contains
  • 2 geojson files, one for the country boundries, and the other for the country regions bounries.
  • 2 png images visualizing the goejson data using geopandas

To Do

• add accurate geojson data of the regions of each country either by
  • pulling it from open source datasets and reference them
  • or manually generate the data using tools such as geojson.io.
• create examples on how-to-use using libraries such as folium and GeoPandas

Milestones

• expand project to cover all of Africa (MEA)
• expand project to cover Europe (EMEA)
