Mauritania Acute Food Insecurity Projections for 2014

Geospatial data from FEWS NET provides medium-term projections of acute food insecurity classifications across Mauritania for the year 2014. The dataset is archived in formats like GeoJSON and KML. It was created by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) and last updated on the platform in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map projected food insecurity classifications (e.g., Minimal, Stressed, Crisis) across Mauritanian administrative units for 2014.
• Analyze spatial patterns of acute food insecurity risk using the provided geographic boundaries and classification labels.
• Integrate 2014 projection data with other temporal layers to assess changes in food security conditions over time.

Strengths

• Data is provided in standard geospatial formats (GeoJSON, KML) suitable for mapping applications.
• The dataset has a clear temporal focus on projections for the year 2014.
• It is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• The core FEWS NET Data Warehouse referenced is currently unavailable, and the dataset is archived, which may affect data validation.
• No sample data, column definitions, row counts, or file sizes are provided, limiting initial assessment.
• The data is a projection for a single year (2014) and may not reflect actual, verified conditions on the ground.
