Ethiopia Acute Food Insecurity Classifications for 2021

Geospatial data from FEWS NET classifies acute food insecurity across Ethiopia for the year 2021. The dataset is provided in GEOJSON and KML formats. It was last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map administrative unit-level food insecurity classifications (e.g., IPC Phase) across Ethiopia for 2021.
• Analyze spatial patterns of acute food insecurity by integrating classification polygons with population or rainfall data.
• Generate time-series comparisons by joining 2021 classification data with other years using geographic identifiers.
• Train models to predict food insecurity risk using geospatial features derived from the classification boundaries.

Strengths

• Data originates from FEWS NET, a leading authority on famine early warning.
• Provides standardized acute food insecurity classifications for a full calendar year (2021).

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and geographic resolution are unknown.
• Data is static for 2021 and may not reflect current conditions without more recent updates.
