EPI Units for RVF Project- Administrative Level 1

This dataset is for Rift Valley Fever project which was used as the structuring of the geospatial data. The World Health Organization (WHO) initiated the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) in May 1974 with the objective to vaccinate children throughout the world. In each of the United Nations’ member states, the national governments create and implement their policies for vaccination programs following the guidelines set by the EPI. Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an acute viral disease that affects domestic animals (such as cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, and camels). The disease is caused by the RVF virus, generally found in regions of eastern and southern Africa, but also in most countries of sub-Saharan Africa, Madagascar, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. This dataset represents the administrative boundaries of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The dataset was edited by FAO-CSI for topology/geometry validation in January,2022. International borders were updated/validated against the official/recognized borders from the United Nations Geospatial Information Section (UN-map 2018).
