Lebanon administrative boundaries structured into three levels: 8 governorates, 26 districts, and 1627 cadasters. The dataset was quality assured and published by OCHA Field Information Services (FIS) and HDX, with boundaries created on 02 May 2014 and last reviewed on 30 October 2025. It is part of the Global Subnational Administrative Boundaries collection.

Use Cases

• Crisis response planning based on administrative subdivision levels
• Geospatial analysis and mapping based on governorate and district boundaries
• Population or resource allocation modeling based on cadaster-level units
• Integrating with other humanitarian datasets based on standardized administrative codes

Strengths

• Contains 1627 cadaster-level units, providing fine-grained detail
• Structured into three clear administrative levels (8, 26, 1627 units)
• Explicitly reviewed for accuracy and completeness on 30 October 2025
• Part of a standardized global collection (COD-AB)

Limitations

• Boundary geometry dates from 02 May 2014; political or geographic changes after this date are not reflected
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count for individual boundary features is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
