Documentation

Dataset: Sourced from GADM (Global Administrative Areas), an open-source global administrative boundary database. The dataset was available prior to 2023, and no official updates have been received from the national authorities to date. The dataset structure was modified to reflect the current administrative hierarchy, with the former ADM2 level reclassified as ADM1 in accordance with the official ISO administrative reference. P-codes: P-codes generated and assigned by OCHA using OCHA's standard P-coding system. This dataset is sourced from GADM (Global Administrative Areas) and has not been officially validated by the national authorities of São Tomé and Príncipe. An update from a national official source is pending. The administrative structure retains two provinces at Admin 1 for COD operational purposes, although provinces were formally abolished under the 1990 constitution. The island of Príncipe has held autonomous region status since 1995. Boundary alignments may differ from other reference datasets (e.g., OpenStreetMap, UN SALB) due to different data sources or update cycles.
