Sahel Livestock Mortality Predictions for Senegal and Mauritania

Africa Sahel Prediction Dead Animals By Ach Gis4Tech is a dataset for predicting livestock mortality. The model uses correlations with agroclimatic indicators, biomass, and violence to predict the variable at the Commune/Municipality level for Senegal and Mauritania. The dataset is published by Acción contra el hambre - GIS4tech via HDX and was last updated on 2026-04-12.

Use Cases

• Predict livestock mortality based on agroclimatic indicators mentioned in the description
• Model food security risks based on correlations with biomass and violence variables
• Generate commune-level risk maps for Senegal and Mauritania based on predicted mortality

Strengths

• Predictions are generated at the Commune/Municipality administrative level.
• The model incorporates multiple predictive variables: agroclimatic indicators, biomass, and violence.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the Sahel region.
