Edge-matched Global, Subnational and operational Boundaries

Global Edge-matched Subnational Boundaries: Humanitarian Edge Matched

Uses OCHA Common Operational Datasets (COD) when available, falling back to geoBoundaries for regions without coverage. Represents the latest available data for humanitarian operational use. Uses the OpenStreetMap International ADM0 worldview for edge-matching. You can find dataset links in different formats here

Global Edge-matched Subnational Boundaries: Open Edge Matched

Uses geoBoundaries exclusively to ensure all data comes from sources with clearly defined licenses. Suitable for academic or commercial use. Uses the U.S. Geological Survey International ADM0 worldview for edge-matching. You can find dataset links in different formats here

International ADM0 boundaries

International boundaries are built using either OpenStreetMap or U.S. Geological Survey coastlines. Within each set, ADM0 layers comes in several versions to represent different world views of disputed areas. Starting with the "All" version, areas are dissolved together based on varying international recognition. Only international boundaries were ingested, where the default version, uses OpenStreetMap (download) for coastlines so that it aligns with web maps using OSM for basemaps or other data. Specialty version, uses U.S. Geological Survey (download) for coastlines so that intellectual property and related rights in this dataset are absent.

Common Operation dataset Edge Matched

The COD layers are obtained from the Humanitarian Data Exchange at the source URLs below before processed for edge matching. Extended layers can be downloaded and clipped to any ADM0. You can download the dataset in different formats here. Datasets were merged to create singular representation at each hierarchy so all ADM1 for example and ADM2 for example. Each component of the dataset retains the original license provided.
