Changes

Defining the levels of the country structure includes defining the number of levels and the names of the levels. For example, a programme may wish to implement a four-level country structure, while another programme wants to use a five-level country structure. The figure below shows an example of each option.

Figure 15. Example Country Structures

Both the number of levels and the name of each level can be customised to match the programme’s existing country structure. Ideally, the country structure in IMSMANG covers all levels of the existing country structure, from the country level down to a level that can be represented with a single point such as a town, city or village.
