Use Cases

• Identifying sub-national areas for safety net programs based on multi-year food security trend maps.
• Prioritizing disaster risk reduction (DRR) and early warning efforts based on climate-related natural shock risk maps.
• Developing integrated strategic plans that combine food security, nutrition, gender, and livelihoods data.
• Analyzing geographic patterns of vulnerability to inform recovery and resilience-building programs.

Strengths

• Data integrates multiple thematic layers including food security, climate risk, nutrition, gender, and livelihoods.
• Produced by the authoritative humanitarian organization WFP (World Food Programme).
• Includes geospatial data formats (SHP) for mapping and analysis.
