P-code
For Darfur village information the following coding
protocol is used:
Longitude / Latitude
Longitude/Latitude of the place in decimal degree
Datum = WGS84
Naming conventions
In most cases attempts are made to utilize the most common name,
as assessed across multiple sources, for the primary name.
Initiatives are underway with the Sudan Central Bureau of
Statistics (CBS) to acquire the official names for villages
in Arabic and English. Our names will be updated accordingly as
this progresses.
