Municipal Agroclimatic Threat Assessments for the Sahel

Municipal-level data classifies agroclimatic hazards and global threat summaries for the Sahel region. The dataset was produced by the PREDISAN AI-SAHEL Project, funded by the Andalusian Agency for International Development Cooperation and the University of Granada. It was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Classify municipalities into threat categories (No risk, Mild, Moderate, Severe) based on agroclimatic indicators.
• Generate a global threat summary column for each municipality using the described 20% rule.
• Analyze spatial patterns of agroclimatic risk across the Sahel at the municipal administrative level.
• Train models to predict threat categories from underlying agroclimatic indicator data.

Strengths

• Data provides a structured threat classification for municipalities.
• Project is funded by recognized development and academic institutions (AACID, UGR).

Limitations

• Sample size, row count, and specific column details are unknown.
• The description of the calculation method is high-level, lacking precise formulas.
