FAO REOWA: Sahel Pastoral Crisis Response with HXL Tags

FAO REOWA (Subregional Team for Resilience West Africa and the Sahel) documented their response to the pastoral crisis in the Sahel region in this XLSX dataset. The data includes HXL (Humanitarian Exchange Language) tags for interoperability within humanitarian response frameworks. It provides primary source records of resilience-building activities in a region prone to climate-related shocks.

Use Cases

• Mapping FAO resource distribution across the Sahel using HXL-tagged location fields
• Categorizing pastoral crisis interventions by type and frequency as recorded in the response logs
• Aggregating regional resilience data into humanitarian dashboards via HXL standards

Strengths

• Uses HXL (Humanitarian Exchange Language) tags for standardized data exchange
• Primary source data from a specialized UN subregional resilience team

Limitations

• The authoring organization (FAO REOWA) is currently inactive
• Lack of specific column definitions or row counts in the source metadata
