3. Project Specific Dataset (Malaria)
Common Datasets
Spatial Data with Coordinate
Administrative Boundaries (Level 1,2,3,4)
Populated Places (Settlements)
Transportation Network (roads, ports, etc.)
Hydrology (Streams, Waterbodies, etc.)
Spatial Data without Coordinate
Population Statistics (District, Upazila, Union, Village)
Common datasets are core sets of data needed to support
operations and decision-making.
Project Specified datasets are datasets required to support
multiple cluster/sector operations and more specific to a
particular sector.
