2. Develop objectives and strategies with partners | Work with IM Network partners to determine objectives and strategies to reach your goal(s). Possible objectives for administrative boundaries: |

3. Identify sources | Start with your IM Network, ask which agencies should be contacted. Prepare a table with detailed metadata for every dataset Share this table with your IM Network Ask IM Network to contribute metadata and contact information of the Administrative Boundaries in the table if they are using different sources of data Review metadata and current knowledge of datasets to see if a short list can be created |

- OCHA coordinates CODs and is responsible for Core CODs, the IM Network is responsible for the country-specific CODs
- Make data goals SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound)
- Use a work plan to organize metadata, coordinate and track progress
- Should take place as a preparedness activity for countries identified as vulnerable to natural disaster or complex emergencies. If already in a response, a good time to do this is before the HNO process begins. A data review should be completed during the onset of a crisis.

Has an active IMWG that worked together to identify commonly used dataset. Once the list was agreed upon they presented it to the HCT who then endorsed it. The group is now involved in collecting the CODs and sharing them on HDX. To develop the list and have it agreed to the following was required: bilateral action with members, meetings with the whole group, use of the prioritization tool to identify datasets, and communication communication of the value of CODs to HCT. In the future, the IM Network will review and and revise the list if required and ensure the datasets area still appropriate.

- COD Agreement Template The goal of this phase to have this list endorsed by the IM network and then the HCT/RCT yearly (Example of signed COD Agreement (Mali) )
- COD Work Plan Template.xls This tool helps to organize metadata and coordinate work. (COD data Plan Template Example (Nigeria))
- Is it a COD tool Four questions to help identify CODs. Many datasets will be identified as necessary when preparing or responding to disaster or emergency, but not all of them are CODs. The following flow chart flowchart can be used to identify CODs from the list of datasets. Use the Data prioritization tool to narrow the list of CODs and and confirm the datasets are relevant and provided in a timely manner. Once a COD is identified it should be included in the COD Work Plan Template and the COD Agreement Template.
