Awash river basin boundary is derived from the HydroBASINS product, which was obtained by delineating drainage basin boundaries from hydrologically corrected elevation data (WWF HydroSHEDS, Lehner et al. 2008; Lehner and Grill 2013) and supported by the topological concept of the Pfafstetter coding system (Verdin & Verdin 1999).

IRC’s GIS unit created this database to allow for a more sustained approach to producing relevant mapping products and geospatial analysis for regions undergoing emergencies, and will fill gaps in information sharing and management between OFDA, IRC, and other implementing partners during emergency response. IRC’s GIS services provide OFDA/Ethiopia with the information and analysis required to monitor the evolution of project / program results and to track project and program impacts across implementing agencies and geographic locations. This dataset contains boundaries of Ethiopian administrative Woredas which are roughly consistent with the actual administrative boundaries for the year 2017.The Woreda boundary contains attribute data (implementing Partners, Situation and Sector Fields) for IRC Ethiopia OFDA & ECHO Funded Ongoing Emergency Responses as of 31 July 2020.
