Burkina Faso administrative level 0 (country), 1 (administrative region), 2 (province), and 3 (department) 2019 sex and age disaggregated population statistics and gazetteer REFERENCE YEAR: 2019 The CSV tables are suitable for database or GIS linkage to the administrative level 0-3 Burkina Faso - Subnational Administrative Boundaries boundaries. UNFPA investigated replacement or projection of this dataset in 2021. No better alternative is currently available.

Burkina Faso administrative level 0-3 COD-EM edge-matched gazetteer, shapefiles, geodatabase, and geoservice. COD-EM datasets do not replace the authoritative COD-AB available here; however COD-EM datasets may be preferred for cartographic purposes. See caveats. These layers are suitable for database or GIS linkage to the Burkina Faso - Subnational Population Statistics tables using the ADM0, ADM1, ADM2, and ADM3_PCODE fields. Vetting and live service provision by Information Technology Outreach Services (ITOS) with funding from USAID.

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 work has been undertaken as part of the Geo-Referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) programme. The programme is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the United Kingdom's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office. It is implemented by the Flowminder Foundation, WorldPop at the University of Southampton, the United Nations Population Fund, and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia University.

Administrative level 3 boundaries for selected Sahel countries edge-matched and derived from respective COD-AB datasets. P-codes match source datasets.

The administrative level 0 and 1 shapefiles are suitable for database or GIS linkage to the CSV population statistics tables.

Burkina Faso health districts (districts de santé) P-coded and fitting below Burkina Faso administrative level 0-3 boundaries administrative level 2 (department). Example P-code: BFDS130001 BF is the ADM0_FR, representing Burkina Faso DS means "District de santé" 13 is from ADM1_PCODE BF13 00 is from ADM2_PCODE BF1300 01 means District de santé number 01 within BF1300
