Title
El Salvador - Subnational Administrative Boundaries
Description
El Salvador administrative level 0-3 boundaries (COD-AB) dataset. The date that these administrative boundaries were established is unknown. NOTE: ABOUT THIS UPDATE. This administrative boundary structure was changed in August 2024 to insert a new administrative level between the previous administrative level 1 and level 2 boundaries. The previous level 2 boundaries have become level 3 boundaries. The general administrative structure is now 'departamento' (administrative level 1), 'municiplo' (level 2), and 'distrito' (level 3). The former caveat about uninhabited administrative features being unrepresented in the COD-PS no longer applies. The COD-PS now contains 'zero population' records for those features. This COD-AB was most recently reviewed for accuracy and necessary changes in August 2024. The COD-AB does not require any update. Sourced from www.gadm.org Vetting by Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS) with funding from USAID. This COD-AB is suitable for database or GIS linkage to the El Salvador [COD-PS](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ps-slv). An edge-matched (COD-EM) version of this COD-AB is available on [HDX here](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-em-slv). Please see the [COD Portal](https://cod.unocha.org/). Administrative level 1 contains 14 feature(s). The normal administrative level 1 feature type is ""departamento"". Administrative level 2 contains 48 feature(s). The normal administrative level 2 feature type is ""municipio"". Administrative level 3 contains 266 feature(s). The normal administrative level 3 feature type is ""distrito"".
