FEWS NET Acute Food Insecurity Projections for Burkina Faso

FEWS NET's archived geographic data provides near-term projections of acute food insecurity classifications for Burkina Faso. The data likely contains IPC (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification) phase designations for administrative areas. It represents a snapshot of projected food security conditions for the years 2014 and 2015.

Use Cases

• Mapping projected food insecurity severity based on IPC classifications.
• Analyzing spatial trends in acute food insecurity for early warning purposes.
• Informing humanitarian response planning for targeted geographic areas.

Strengths

• Data is produced by FEWS NET, a leading authority on food security early warning.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for broad reuse.

Limitations

• The underlying FEWS NET Data Warehouse is noted as 'currently unavailable', casting doubt on data accessibility.
• Key metadata such as column names, row counts, and file sizes are consistently missing across all sources.
• The 'last updated' date of 2026 appears to be a system artifact and does not reflect actual data currency.
