Vectorial and raster collected data sets have been gathered into one single shapefile using Quantum GIS (QGIS ,référence) software. Larger scaled data sets (domestic violence on women and neo-mortality rate) have been resampled to the Second-Order Administrative Division (SOAD) scale, or equivalently, the district scale. To do this, they were exported as a raster image with resolution of XX m2 with the Rasterize (référence?) module of QGIS, and finally polygonized at the SOAD scale using the Spatial Statistics plugin (référence?) of QGIS. They has been polygonized by taking the majority value contained inside each SOAD polygon, in order to avoid edge effects between two provinces. Neo-mortality rate have finally been multiplied by the population of women per SOAD, contained in the census data, data set,  and multiplied by 1000 to obtain an estimation of the number of new born mortality per district.
Travel time to closest facility has been estimated at the district scale by taking the mean of the values contained inside the district polygons.

Datasets  have been explored using GeoDa software.

 software. Regressions were produced with the regression tool of GeoDa, supposing that neo-mortality is a dependant variable of distance to health facilities, electricity coverage, household size and domestic violence on women.
