FAO Hand-in-Hand second administrative level boundaries 2022
This vector dataset contains FAO processed administrative boundaries from multiple sources, produced in 2022 for the Hand-in-Hand Initiative Geospatial Platform publishing. The data was sourced and processed from the United Nations second administrative level boundaries (UN-SALB) programme, complemented with Hand-in-Hand Initiative and geospatial platform data from official geospatial data producers. Country boundaries are processed against UN official recognized borders (UN-map 2018), administrative subdivision checked for geometry a topology, validated, and corrected. Attributes are standardized to the UN-SALB programme schema and coding system.
Processed by UN-FAO-CSI AgroInformatics geospatial analysis team, the data is used for thematic mapping, geospatially enabled statistics location-based integration, and Hand-in-Hand geospatial analysis (GIS-MCDA, suitability/location analysis, agricultural typologies, zonal statistics extraction).
