Core CODs (COD-AB, COD-PS, COD-HP)

Overview

Core CODs are critical for information and data products and to underpin effective coordination and should be prepared for all disaster-prone countries.

There are three types of core COD:

1. Administrative boundaries (COD-AB),

2. Sex and age-disaggregated population statistics (COD-PS), and

3. Humanitarian profiles (COD-HP).

Refer to the COD Portal for information about the availability and quality and for metadata for Core COD datasets.

Core CODs are being prepared for all disaster-prone countries and countries with ongoing emergencies or protracted humanitarian operations. They are the first datasets required by all when responding to a humanitarian situation.

The pages listed on the right provide more information on each core COD.
