Cameroon Administrative "Régions" - Administrative Level 1
This dataset represents the administrative regions of Cameroon. Boundaries of territorial areas gathering several administrative divisions, placed under the authority of Governors. The dataset was originally produced by the Institut National de Cartographie (INC) and the descriptions are made on the basis of topographic maps (INC background) at a scale of 1:200 000. This layer represents a global view of the regions and does not correspond to official boundaries. There is no legal validation process for this data.
The dataset was edited by FAO-CSI for topology/geometry validation, schema and coding system conformance to SALB-UN specifications. International borders were updated/validated against the official/recognized borders from the United Nations Geospatial Information Section.
