The administrative division data of Morocco, even if available on the net [1] in the form of a shapefile, lacks consistency and a certain level of details needed for the creation of a district repository. Taking for instance one of the largest regions of Morocco, Grand Casablanca, where the economical capital of the country is located, still there’s no data , on the official website of its territorial administrative division[2], neither a detailed table nor an editable map.After updating the Moroccan administrative division shapefile to be conformed to the administrative repartition of communes over the prefectures and provinces according to the 2015 general monograph of the Region Grand Casablanca [3]. We finally were able, using QGIS, to geocode the gathered districts over the updated shapefile and extract the data creating the Grand Casablanca District repository.Therefore, the raw data is gathered in one table GC-repository containing 402 records of the following fields detailed in the table below: District, District_CP, Commune, Type_com, Prefecture/Province, PR_ CP, Region. The second output is the shapefile of 205 Ko that generated the table. All is detailed in the data.zip file
