The GDS presence layer is a geographic representation of the UNHCR operational presence in the countries where UNHCR is operating. It shows the diverse types of presence including temporary presence such as Field Units. Each office is either Active or Inactive depending on the operational status reported by the field. The status of the GIS layer represents the current operational presence in the world.

This layer shows the different administrative boundaries (levels: 1) used in the UNHCR GIS system. It is mostly from governments and official sources but also other UN bodies or NGOs. The OCHA CODs and Pcodes are examined and considered. The boundaries and names do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations.

Other people in need of international protection refer to people who are outside their country or territory of origin, typically because they have been forcibly displaced across international borders, who have not been reported under other categories (including asylum-seekers and refugees) but who likely need international protection, including protection against forced return, as well as access to basic services on a temporary or longer-term basis.
