[OSGeo Africa] African Data

[Craig von Hagen]

Try this:

 

http://www.fao.org/geonetwork/srv/en/main.home

 

and search for ‘GAUL’ in the free text.

 

Although the only way you will get the ‘correct’ names and boundaries is from the mapping authority in each country. This is actually what SALB tries to do. See: http://www.unsalb.org/

 

I hope this help,

 

Cheers,

Craig
