Mauritania Acute Food Insecurity Classifications for 2011

Geospatial data from FEWS NET classifies acute food insecurity across Mauritania for the year 2011. The dataset provides near-term projections of food security conditions. It was archived by HDX in April 2026 after the FEWS NET Data Warehouse became unavailable.

Use Cases

• Map projected food insecurity classifications across Mauritania's administrative units using the geospatial polygons.
• Analyze spatial patterns of acute food insecurity for 2011 based on the FEWS NET classification scheme.
• Join classification data with other geospatial layers using the geometry attributes for composite risk analysis.

Strengths

• Data is provided in standard geospatial formats (GeoJSON, KML) for direct GIS use.
• Classifications are from FEWS NET, a leading authority on food security early warning.

Limitations

• The underlying FEWS NET Data Warehouse source is unavailable, preventing verification or updates.
• Data is limited to a single year (2011) and may not reflect current conditions.
• Sample data and specific column details are not provided, limiting initial assessment.
