Data
Zambian 2006 to 2010 District, Constituency, and Ward Shapefiles
District, constituency, and ward boundary shapefiles. See included “README.txt” for details on data creation and limitations.
Stanford Earthworks has a fair amount of Zambian GIS data. Much of this data was collected in the course of my research, but unlike the file linked above I did not actually create the data by hand, just collected it from third parties and submitted to the Stanford repository. Earthwork holdings include 1991-2005 ward files.
