Burundi Acutely Food Insecure Population Estimates by FEWS NET, 2019

2019 estimates of acutely food insecure populations in Burundi, published by FEWS NET and sourced from HDX. Each row represents observations for first-level administrative units, with temporal coverage indicated by projection_start and projection_end columns. The dataset was curated into a Parquet format by electricsheepafrica and last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling temporal trends in food insecurity based on projection_start and projection_end columns
• Mapping acute food insecurity at the first-level administrative unit scale across Burundi
• Estimating population sizes affected by food insecurity for resource planning
• Analyzing correlations between administrative regions and food security status

Strengths

• Data is curated into a machine-learning-ready Parquet format
• Temporal coverage is explicitly defined by projection_start and projection_end columns
• Geographic scope is clearly defined as Burundi (BDI)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
