Statistical reporting units

[] usually uses administrative units as their statistical reporting units.

Administrative (admin) units are the geographical areas into which a country is divided. FEWS NET uses the following terminology: National boundary = admin 0, First sub-national division = admin 1 (e.g., states in the United States), Second sub-national division = admin 2 (e.g., counties in the United States), and so on.

FEWS NET’s use of Wikipedia

While Wikipedia may not be appropriate for all research contexts, it serves as a valuable and often irreplaceable source for certain types of information. For rapidly changing administrative data where timeliness is critical, Wikipedia's strengths often outweigh the limitations typically associated with user-generated content, as is the case here.
