Also, the availability of data is usually better for higher administrative levels (e.g. regions are better covered than districts). To generate consolidated time-series, it was necessary to define a harmonized classification for statistical units (WASU), which combines official admin units into comparable and time-invariant groups. Available information for all levels was fed into a consolidation process that ensured consistency across admin levels and accounted for obvious outliers(e.g.yields 10 times larger that in other years or comparable regions).
