Uganda Acute Food Insecurity Classifications for 2012 and 2020

Geospatial data from FEWS NET classifying acute food insecurity in Uganda for the years 2012 and 2020. The dataset is archived on HDX as the FEWS NET Data Warehouse is currently unavailable. It is provided under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Mapping the geographic distribution of Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) levels across Uganda.
• Analyzing changes in acute food insecurity between the 2012 and 2020 reference periods.
• Supporting targeted intervention planning based on historical phase classifications.

Strengths

• Provides specific temporal coverage for two distinct years (2012 and 2020).
• Uses the standardized Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) framework.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Key technical details like row counts, column names, and file sizes are unavailable from all sources.
• The dataset is archived because the original FEWS NET Data Warehouse source is unavailable, which may affect data access or context.
• Sources provide conflicting last updated timestamps (2026-04-05 10:31:36.609529 vs 2026-04-05 09:28:54.033908) for the same 2012 data.
