Bolivia Subnational NDVI: Dekadal Vegetation Indicators and Anomalies

Delivering dekadal NDVI indicators for Bolivia, aggregated at sub-national administrative levels by the World Food Programme using NASA MODIS collection 6.1 satellite data. It tracks vegetation health through 10-day indices, long-term averages, and percentage anomalies across administrative units. The data is current as of March 2026 and utilizes WFP-standardized geographic references.

Use Cases

• Monitoring agricultural drought conditions by analyzing the viq (anomaly) column over time
• Correlating vegetation health (vim) with food security indicators using Pcode join keys
• Establishing baseline vegetation patterns for specific regions using the vim_lta long-term average

Strengths

• Uses NASA MODIS collection 6.1 high-quality satellite data
• Includes Pcode references for seamless joining with other WFP humanitarian datasets
• Provides n_pixels column to indicate the statistical reliability of each aggregate

Limitations

• Aggregated format removes the high-resolution spatial detail of the original MODIS pixels
• Geographic scope is restricted exclusively to Bolivia
• Dependent on WFP-specific administrative definitions which may differ from other sources
