Morocco - Subnational Administrative Boundaries

SEPTEMBER 29 2023 UPDATE The shapefile, geodatabase, and EMF layers sourced from Le Haut Commissariat au Plan data (HCP) have been vetted and configured by ITOS. Topological errors have been fixed and the lines layer is now available. The live geoservices are currently those provided before the September 2023 earthquake, but will be updated shortly.

NOTE ABOUT P-CODES. The Haut Commissariat au Plan data (HCP) source data contained place codes that did not reference administrative level 1 (regions). To maintain consistency with the previous COD-AB - as well as the live geoservices that are currently in place - the new layers maintain the P-coding at administrative levels 1 and 2 and then append the HCP place coding for administrative levels 3 and 4.

SEPTEMBER 15 2023 UPDATE The administrative level 0-4 gazetteer spreadsheet and geodatabase is now available. The large number of topology errors prohibits creation of a lines layer until they can be corrected.

SEPTEMBER 14 2023 UPDATE This dataset now contains a preliminary set of administrative level 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 shapefiles recently derived from Le Haut Commissariat au Plan data (HCP). Administrative level 0, 1, and 2 P-codes match those in the other layers - and live geoservices - contained in this dataset. Administrative level 3 and 4 P-codes are derived from the HCP layers.

These new layers are more detailed than the previous layers but contain topological errors.

The gazetteer spreadsheet, lines file, and geodatabase will be prepared shortly.

Live services remain unaltered.

Sourced from GAUL. P-codes harmonization by UNHCR FICSS towards enhanced integration between different systems and humanitarian agencies. P-coded reformulated by UNICEF.

Vetting and live service provision by Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS) with funding from USAID.
