HCADMIN 1.0

Many of HarvestChoice’s spatial analyses are done using raster datasets at various spatial resolutions (e.g., 1 km, 10 km, or 50 km grids). However, it is often more convenient and easily conceivable to aggregate the granular results at a more easily recognizable level using commonly-used administrative units. To standardize the aggregation and reporting process across the project, HCADMIN v1.0 was developed as a set of sub-national administrative unit boundaries in sub-Saharan Africa countries – at levels 1 or 2, depending on the number and size of units and the population within per country. Version 1.0 of the dataset contains 684 inland units.
