Yemen Acute Food Insecurity Projections for 2021

FEWS NET geographic data projects acute food insecurity classifications across Yemen for 2021. The dataset provides medium-term projections in GeoJSON and KML formats. It was published by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Map projected food insecurity classifications (IPC/CH phases) across Yemeni administrative units.
• Analyze spatial patterns of acute hunger risk for 2021 using polygon boundaries.
• Integrate classification projections with other geospatial layers like population density or rainfall data.

Strengths

• Data originates from FEWS NET, a leading authority on food security early warning.
• Available in standard geospatial formats (GeoJSON, KML) for immediate GIS use.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset's core projection is for 2021, which may not reflect current conditions.
• Specific row counts, column details, and data collection methodology are unknown.
