GRID3 DRC Haut-Lomami and Tanganyika Health Catchment Area Boundaries Version 01 (Beta) dataset consists of two layers: health area boundaries and health zone boundaries.
This work has been undertaken as part of the Geo-referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) initiative.
GRID3 works with countries to generate, validate and use geospatial data on population, settlements, infrastructure, and subnational boundaries. For more information, see https://grid3.org/

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) partnered with donors and UN agencies and took up the lead role to support the Somali authorities in undertaking the Population Estimation Survey (PESS) for Somalia in October 2013- March 2014.
REFERENCE YEAR: 2014
PESS gathered basic critical information on the Somalis living in urban, rural and nomadic areas (interviewed at water points during the peak of the long, dry season), and in settlements for internally displaced persons. One standard questionnaire was used in selected enumeration areas or pre-identified areas. Data was collected in three main phases: cartographic field mapping, household listing in the sampled areas, and the interviewing of households using the standard questionnaire.
PESS report by UNFPA had only the population estimate at regional level (Admin level 1). With the demand to get this data disaggregated to district level to enhance assessment and in particular assessments of people in food insecure by FAO-FSNAU, the district data was interpolated using FSNAU livelihood information embedded in the 2005 UNDP district level population data

These datasets are intended for coordination and operations in humanitarian activities.
The purpose of this settlements list in particular is as a gazetteer for geographical reference. It is not intended as a cartographic source or as an authoritative reference list.
The list is derived from IOM's placename database, which is the most extensive currently maintained placename source available for Iraq, and provides compatability with IOM's Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM).
The list does NOT contain any designations of hierarchy (e.g. governorate / district capitals) or of size (e.g. settlement size or population size). Thus, the placenames refer to a variety of populated places including cities, towns, villages and neighbourhoods.
Arabic names are in the process of being added; some are included in this dataset.

The "GRID3 DRC Kongo Central Settlements Points, Version 1" provides a comprehensive dataset of settlements and their names to help target service delivery and development investments. The Kongo Central settlement layers contain settlement points and name attribute data that fall within the Kongo Central boundary and are divided into built up areas, small settlement areas, and hamlets.
