Conventions

PSGC PSA's new 10-digit coding structure and stored as numeric format.

For convenience, parent PSGC codes are also stored in the datasets. This can be useful when joining across administrative levels.

Source Files

Maps are using EPSG:32651, Lat/Long projection.

The 2023 Level 0 to 4 raw shapefiles came from OCHA Services Website. This dataset was cleaned up and matched with the most recent PSGC codes and location names. The shapefile was also updated to reflect merging of locations.

Old Sources

If you are using an older version of this project (2019) the source data for that uses:

The 2015 Level 0 to 3 shapefiles came from OCHA Services Website (Not Available Anymore).

The 2015 Level 4 shapefiles came from this Github Repo

The 2011 Level 0 to 4 shapefiles came from GADM Website Data

Please refer to the PSGC Summary of Changes to take into account potential issues that may arise when using these maps together with your datasets.
