Chad Acute Food Insecurity Classifications and Projections for 2022

FEWS NET geographic data provides medium-term projections and classifications of acute food insecurity across Chad for 2022. The dataset is published in geospatial formats including GeoJSON and KML. FEWS NET, the Famine Early Warning Systems Network, authored this data, which was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map administrative unit classifications like 'Minimal' or 'Crisis' to visualize food insecurity severity.
• Analyze geographic patterns in projected food insecurity levels for medium-term planning.
• Combine FEWS NET classification polygons with population data to estimate numbers of people in need.
• Use the geospatial boundaries to correlate food insecurity with other datasets on climate or conflict.

Strengths

• Data is provided by FEWS NET, a leading authoritative source for food security analysis.
• Geospatial formats (GeoJSON, KML) enable direct integration with mapping and GIS software.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for clear reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset contains only classifications and projections, lacking underlying raw indicator data like crop yields or market prices.
• Temporal coverage is limited to the 2022 projection period, requiring other datasets for trend analysis.
• Sample data and specific row/column counts are unavailable, preventing assessment of granularity.
