The "GRID3 DRC Settlements - Haut-Katanga, Kasaรฏ, Kasaรฏ-Oriental, Kinshasa, and Lomami Provinces, Version 01" dataset consists of settlement points with names and health catchment area attributes in the provinces of Haut-Katanga, Kasaรฏ, Kasaรฏ-Oriental, Kinshasa, and Lomami in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
To conduct this work, the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia University engaged with the mandated authorities in the DRCโs Ministry of Health who support data collection and development for vaccination planning. Local healthcare workers were directly involved in the mapping of the health catchment area boundaries at participatory events coordinated with in-country provincial coordinators and mappers, and in the collection of data in the field from January to July 2021.
This work is part of the GRID3 Mapping for Health in the DRC project. Supported by Gavi through its INFUSE initiative, GRID3 Mapping for Health is a Ministry of Health initiative, delivered in partnership with Flowminder and CIESIN, and in collaboration with WorldPop at the University of Southampton, Kinshasa School of Public Health, UNFPA, UNOPS, and Novel-T. GRID3 Mapping for Health is a continuation of previous work conducted and/or supported in the DRC by the Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) programme.
The dataset consists of one layer: settlement point data and a table with the field descriptions for the layer. The data are available for download in Esri file geodatabase format packaged in zip files.
File name: GRID3_DRC_settlements_names_V01.gdb
The following layers are included in the gdb:

Settlement extents are polygons representing areas where there is likely a human settlement based on the presence of buildings detected in satellite imagery. Settlement extents are not meant to represent the boundaries of an administrative unit or locality. A single settlement extent may be made up of multiple localities, especially in urban areas. Each settlement extent has an associated population estimate. Provided is information on the common operational boundary that the extent fully resides within along with their associated place codes (PCodes). The data are in geodatabase format and consist of a single-feature class.
This data product contains all information contained in the previous โGRID3 Democratic Republic of the Congo Settlement Extents, Version 01.01โ product, with updates. Updates in this version include: The addition of the WorldPop GRID3 Gridded Population Estimates for Age and Sex in Kinshasa, Kongo-Central, Kwango, Kwilu, and Mai-Ndombe provinces .
This work has been undertaken as part of the Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) programme.

Syria Administrative boundaries for levels 0 - 4, with Arabic Names, English Names, and p-codes.
Geodatabase maintains Arabic names better than shapefile
Note that Admin 4 is the populated places layer.
Admin Level 1= Governorate = Mohafaza
Admin Level 2 = District = Mantika
Admin Level 3 = Sub-district= Nahya
Populated places (also known as "Admin Level 4") = City or Village
Dataset organization: Administrative boundary resources (shapefiles, geodatabases. and gazetteer) are separate from the populated places shapefiles resources except the live geoservices, which provide both administrative boundaries and populated places.
Most Recent Changes:
15 January 2021
ITOS geoservices, shapefile, and geodatabase for populated places ("administrative level 4") added.
12 January 2021
ITOS geoservices, shapefiles, and geodatabase added.
EMF files added.
ITOS gazetteer added.
18-August-2020
added 327 Communities.
21-March-2019
added 14 Communities.
19-Dec-2018
Use the Neighborhood as point loaded in the same layer/ Excel file called as a humanitarian Location
added 11 Communities.
01-July-2018
added 1528 Communities and some localities moved to their accurate locations
31-Jan-2018- added 91 populated places and areas, some localities moved to their accurate locations, essential change in the admin boundary in Tartous Governorate at Admin 2 and Admin 3
1-June-2017- added 24 populated places and areas
22-Feb-2017- added three populated places and fixed some typos in admin4 and neighborhoods
04-Oct-2016 - Added two populated places
20-Sept-2016 - Built-up polygonal layer was created so that for each populated place there is a corresponding built-up poplygon; Added populated places based on feedback from humanitarian partners ; Neighborhood layer now includes 11 main cities with new p-codes ; column names follow global standard; reference names are unique both in English and Arabic
12-Jan-2014 - Shape file version posted. UTF-8 has been used to enable the correct display of Arabic characters.
19-May-2013 - New features added to Admin4 ; English Names edited to be consistent in all Admin levels; locations of few communities adjusted
07-Jan-2013 - Column with Capitals of Administrative Units (1 - 3) added to Populated Places (Admin 4). No changes.
19-Dec-2012 - Minor change: erroneous Admin 1 p-code for the populated place Arab Elmalik Jerkes (p-code = C3571) corrected (from SY010 to SY10).
12-Dec-2012 - Added neighborhoods , currently Damascus only. Added "C" as leading character of pcodes at level 4 (populated places) to ensure uniqueness. The digits remain the same from earlier versions.
24-Sep-2012 - Consolidated spelling between all 4 levels for all admin levels. Pcodes added.
24-Aug-2012 - Shapefile versions added. Exported from the geodatabase version of 30-June-2011.
