Afghanistan Core Dataset: District-Level Humanitarian Indicators

ACAPS aggregates data from multiple sources to track the humanitarian situation across Afghan districts. The dataset monitors key drivers like conflict, commodity prices, exclusion, and access to services, alongside their impacts on food insecurity and cholera. It was last updated on 2026-05-14 and is provided under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Monitor emerging humanitarian risks based on tracked indicators like conflict and commodity prices.
• Assess district-level vulnerability by comparing core indicators across regions.
• Model the relationship between key drivers and impacts such as food insecurity and cholera.
• Generate alerts for potential emergencies based on trends that could overwhelm local coping mechanisms.

Strengths

• Data is aggregated from a range of sources for comparative district-level understanding.
• Tracks changes in indicators over time to alert on emerging trends.
• Explicitly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-05-14).
