Abstract 

This dataset is an aggregated version of the original national Africover landcover multipurpose database.

A 26-class legend is used to aggregate the classes present in the original full resolution, multipurpose landcover database. A single legend is applicable to the eight trypanosomiasis-affected countries mapped during Africover project (Burundi, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Rwanda, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda and United Republic of Tanzania).

Purpose  Thematic aggregation has been performed by the Programme Against African Trypanosomiasis (PAAT) to support mapping of tsetse habitat and decision making in disease affected countries.
Status  Completed: Production of the data has been completed
