GRID3 Sierra Leone Settlement Extents Version 01, Alpha
NOTE: This version of the Sierra Leone settlement extents has been superseded by "GRID3 Sierra Leone Settlement Extents, Version 01.01", now available here: https://doi.org/10.7916/d8-26xs-7532
The database constitutes a comprehensive set of settlement polygons nationwide. It is in geodatabase format and consists of three feature classes for built up areas (BUA), small settlement areas (SSA), and hamlets (hamlets).
This work has been undertaken as part of the Geo-referenced Infrastructure and Demographic Data for Development (GRID3) initiative in Sierra Leone.
GRID3 works with countries to generate, validate and use geospatial data on population, settlements, infrastructure, and subnational boundaries. For more information, see https://grid3.org/
