This section provides administrative boundary datasets of Ethiopia in Shapefile, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage formats. The datasets are organized into different administrative levels:
Each dataset is available in two coordinate reference systems:
Shapefile is one of the most widely used vector formats in GIS. It consists of multiple files (.shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj, etc.), so here they are provided as .zip archives for easy download. Shapefiles are widely supported by GIS software and commonly used.
GeoPackage (GPKG) is an open, efficient format that combines vector and raster geographic data into a single file. It is compatible with modern GIS tools, including QGIS, ArcGIS, and GDAL. Its standardized design ensures reliable data sharing and compatibility with current and emerging GIS technologies, making it an excellent choice for long-term use.
GeoJSON is a lightweight, JSON-based format designed for representing geographic data. It is particularly well-suited for web mapping, APIs, and browser-based visualizations. GeoJSON supports various data types, including geometries, features, and collections, making it versatile for online and interactive applications.
