Title
Somalia - Subnational Administrative Boundaries
Description
Somalia administrative level 0-2 boundaries (COD-AB) dataset.Boundaries established: 1984 NOTE: In addition to administrative levels 0-2, this dataset includes ""level 1 Operational Zones"" (OPZ1) and ""level 2 Operational Zones"" (OPZ2). 17 OPZ1 features within the Banadir administrative level 1 feature are now (as of the January 2025 update) coincident with individual administrative level 2 features. Two further OPZ1 features within the Banadir administrative level 1 polygon are excluded from the administrative structure and must be named and P-coded as 'unspecified'. All Operational Zones are not administrative boundaries and are not identified as administrative level 3 features. The six Federal member states (Somaliland, Puntland, Galmudug, Hirshabelle, South West, and Jubaland) are NOT integrated into the administrative structure. (Their boundaries cannot be constructed even from administrative level 2 features.) This COD-AB was most recently reviewed for accuracy and necessary changes in December 2024. The COD-AB does not require any update. Sourced from OCHA Somalia Vetting by Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS) with funding from USAID. This COD-AB is suitable for database or GIS linkage to the Somalia [COD-PS](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-ps-som). An edge-matched (COD-EM) version of this COD-AB is available on [HDX here](https://data.humdata.org/dataset/cod-em-som). Please see the [COD Portal](https://cod.unocha.org/). Administrative level 1 contains 18 feature(s). The normal administrative level 1 feature type is 'Region'. Administrative level 2 contains 91 feature(s). The normal administrative level 2 feature type is 'District'. Recommended cartographic projection: Africa Albers Equal Area Conic This metadata was last updated on January 23, 2025.
