Title: Project Location Model

Description: This schema defines the structure of the project location model. It is used to validate the project location data provided by the KfW counterpart.

1. Property Project Location Model > scheme_version

Must be one of:

• “4.0”

2. Property Project Location Model > fid

Description: Unique identifier for each project location. This can be a local MIS-/GIS-ID or a combination of project number and location name.

3. Property Project Location Model > date_of_data_collection

Description: Date of data collection or latest update (if date of data collection is unknown). In case only the year is available please choose the 1st of january e.g. 2022-01-01.

4. Property Project Location Model > donor_project_no

Description: Every project location must be assigned to its respective BMZ project number.

5. Property Project Location Model > project_acronym

Description: Enter the acronym used for easy identification of the project (e.g. HRE II).

6. Property Project Location Model > data_provider

Description: Legal Entity who owns the data provided here (= legal authorship).

7. Property Project Location Model > publishing_restrictions

Description: Indicates if the exact location is collected in fragile areas (e.g. of severe civil conflict or war) and should therefore be omitted from publicly available reports.

Must be one of:

• “yes”
• “no”

8. Property Project Location Model > related_community

11. Property Project Location Model > activity_start_date

Description: Approximate planned or actual start date of implementation of activities on the ground. This can be e.g. the date when construction work is planned to begin. For no information enter 2100-01-01.

12. Property Project Location Model > activity_end_date

Description: Approximate planned or actual end date of activities on the ground. This can be e.g. the date when the project is planned to cease implementation activities. For no information enter 2100-01-01.

13. Property Project Location Model > activity_description
