Côte d'Ivoire Administrative Boundaries for Districts, Regions, and Departments

OCHA West and Central Africa contributed this geospatial dataset of Côte d'Ivoire's subnational administrative boundaries. It contains three hierarchical levels: 33 districts/autonomous cities (Admin 1), 108 regions (Admin 2), and 510 departments (Admin 3). The dataset was reviewed for accuracy in October 2025 and is published under a CC-BY-3.0-IGO license.

Use Cases

• Mapping and spatial analysis based on the three-level administrative hierarchy.
• Aggregating socio-economic or humanitarian data to district, region, or department levels.
• Creating gazetteers or location reference systems for Côte d'Ivoire.
• Conducting regional planning or resource allocation analysis using defined administrative units.

Strengths

• Contains a clearly defined three-level hierarchy with specific counts: 33 Admin 1, 108 Admin 2, and 510 Admin 3 units.
• Dataset was explicitly reviewed for accuracy and completeness on 30 October 2025.
• Published and quality assured by authoritative humanitarian organizations (OCHA FIS, HDX).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale processing.
• The dataset's creation date (August 2018) precedes its accuracy review (October 2025), suggesting potential updates.
