Mauritania Integrated Context Analysis (ICA): Food Security and Climate Risk, 2017

Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) combines multi-year food security trends with natural shock risk data for sub-national strategic planning in Mauritania. The World Food Programme (WFP) produced this 2017 dataset to identify areas where safety nets, disaster risk reduction, and resilience programs are most appropriate. Mapped data on nutrition, gender, livelihoods, and resilience can enrich theme-level planning where all pieces work together.

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.
• Informing strategic programmatic directions by combining mapped data on nutrition, gender, and livelihoods.
• Supporting recovery-focused interventions in areas where climate shocks are a primary driver of food insecurity.

Strengths

• Data integrates multiple thematic layers including food security, climate shock risk, nutrition, gender, and livelihoods.
• Analysis is conducted at a sub-national level, allowing for targeted strategic planning.
• Produced by the World Food Programme (WFP), a major UN agency.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is from 2017; freshness should be verified for current applications.
