The Global IMWG Data Sub-group and OCHA-FIS will be working in 2018-2019 to further develop the guidance on country-specific guidance. Please contact FIS if you have suggestions, material or questions.

Not all of the datasets listed below are CODs!! It is up to the IM network in the country to identify what datasets are required as a common reference when preparing or responding to an emergency.
To identify CODs, use the Identifying a COD Tool if the if the IM network cannot decide if a dataset is a COD. Even if a dataset is not considered to be a COD it should still be shared on HDX as it could prove valuable to others. The Data Prioritization Tool can can help when there are too many datasets identified as CODs and the IM network needs to identify priorities.
