ABSTRACT:

This coverage contains the fifth level administrative boundaries at a 1:1000000 scale. The coverage is part of the Famine Early Warning System (FEWS)/Associates in Rural Development (ARD), African series.

This data set is to be used in conjunction with other layers of Kenya data.

The data are intended to show the spatial distribution of the fifth level administrative units for Kenya.

The sub-location boundaries on each district map were digitized. In general, registration errors during  digitizing (RMS) did not exceed .003 inches. Each sub-location polygon was given a code reflecting its  Admin. context (i.e., Province, District, Division, Location, sub-location)

CONSTRAINTS:

 

Acknowledgment of the EDC-International Program, UNDP and the U.S. Geological Survey would be appreciated in products derived from these data. The data should not be used for navigation or for producing maps requiring high geodetic accuracy.

POSITIONAL ACCURACY:

The absolute horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived from Operational Navigation Charts (ONC) is 2040 meters (6700 feet) World Geodetic System (WGS84).             The absolute horizontal accuracy of the DCW for all features derived from Jet Navigation Charts  (JNC) is 4270 meters (14006 feet) at 90% Circular Error.

The absolute vertical accuracy of the DCW is the same as for the original ONC and JNC

 Lithographs at 90% Linear Error (LE), Mean Sea Level (MSL).
