Somalia Acute Food Insecurity Projections for 2020

FEWS NET geographic classifications project acute food insecurity across Somalia for the year 2020. The data provides near-term forecasts of crisis severity levels for administrative regions. It was published by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping projected food insecurity classifications (e.g., IPC Phase) across Somali administrative regions to visualize risk hotspots.
• Analyzing the spatial distribution of forecasted acute food insecurity levels for 2020 to inform resource allocation.
• Correlating FEWS NET projection geometries with other geospatial datasets, such as rainfall or displacement data, to identify contributing factors.

Strengths

• Geospatial data from FEWS NET, an authoritative source for food security analysis.
• Available in multiple standard geospatial formats (GEOJSON, KML) for interoperability.

Limitations

• Dataset contains projections for a single year (2020), limiting longitudinal analysis.
• Specific row counts, column details, and underlying sample sizes are not provided.
