  • 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).

    The Administrative boundaries at level 2 dataset are part of the Global Administrative Areas (GADM) 3.6 vector dataset series which includes distinct datasets representing administrative boundaries for all countries in the world. The Administrative level 2 distinguishes Countries, Districts and equivalent. GADM makes use of high spatial resolution images and an extensive set of attributes to map administrative areas at all levels of political sub-division. Information on administrative units associated attributes includes official names in Latin and non-Latin scripts, variant names, administrative type in local and English.
