Ethiopia - Settlements with administrative boundaries

The GRID3 ETH - Settlement Extents v3.0 consists of a geographic representation of settlements in Ethiopia. Data inputs and methodology are described in data release notes available at GRID3 ETH - Settlement Extents v3.0 3iS has enhanced the settlement dataset by integrating administrative attributes from a shapefile at the Admin 3 level. This process involved associating settlements with the corresponding administrative divisions, including the following attributes: - Admin 1 (Region) Names and P-codes: Identifying the broader regions where settlements are located. - Admin 2 (Zone) Names and P-codes: Associating zones within regions to each settlement. - Admin 3 (Woreda) Names and P-codes: Providing detailed locality-level information.
