Discovering the Interactive Map

The interactive map allows you to visualize all support programs for the African private sector. Each marker represents an intervention program located in one or more African countries.

What is the interactive map for?

The interactive map is a geographic visualization tool that allows you to:

• Explore all support programs by country and region
• Filter programs according to your criteria (region, country, sector, funder, support type)
• Identify priority intervention zones in Africa
• Access detailed information about each program quickly

Where to find the interactive map?

The map is available in two places:

1. Homepage: an embedded version at the center of the page to facilitate discovery
2. Full-screen map: accessible via the expand button on the map, it offers a maximized view for in-depth exploration

Overview of visual elements

Markers on the map

Each drop-shaped marker represents a program. Clicking on it displays a popup with a summary: program name, country, region, sectors, funders and a link to the detailed sheet.

Clusters (groupings)

In areas with high concentration of programs, markers are automatically grouped into numbered circles. The number indicates how many programs are in the area. Click on a cluster to zoom in and see individual programs.

Legend (lower left corner)

A small panel displays the cluster icon with its explanation to help you understand the groupings.

Last update date (upper right corner)

A badge shows the date of the last data update on the map.

Navigation buttons (upper left corner)

Three buttons help you navigate:

• Globe button: re-centers the map on the Africa overview
• Magnifier button: automatically adjusts the zoom to display all visible programs
• Expand button: opens the map in full screen on a dedicated page

Filters button (upper right corner)

A button opens a filter panel allowing you to search programs by multiple criteria. The panel also shows the number of programs found.
