FEWS NET: Mozambique Acute Food Insecurity Projections

FEWS NET's Mozambique Near Term Projection dataset provides geospatial classifications of acute food insecurity for Mozambique. The data, which uses the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) framework, is available for specific years such as 2016 and 2018. However, the FEWS NET Data Warehouse, which is the source for these datasets, is currently unavailable and the records on HDX have been archived.

Use Cases

• Mapping areas of high food insecurity based on IPC classification
• Planning humanitarian aid distribution based on geospatial projections
• Analyzing year-over-year changes in food security conditions for Mozambique

Strengths

• Data is provided in standard geospatial formats (KML, GeoJSON) for mapping
• Uses the established IPC framework for classifying food insecurity

Limitations

• The underlying FEWS NET Data Warehouse source is currently unavailable
• Metadata is incomplete, with unknown column names and row counts
• Datasets are archived on HDX, indicating they may not be actively maintained
