The map will be one of the most important in a response for identifying priority areas where food insecurity needs are at their greatest.
The map uses the existing IPC classification to identify whether regions are stressed, in crisis, in emergency or in catastrophe/famine.
The IPC uses survey data which will require an understanding of the metadata around temporal elements (date of collection, date of publication, frequency), the geographic elements (coverage, sampling frame) and the quality elements (modelling approach, uncertainty, confidence intervals).
The map also includes settlement locations and water bodies to provide context to the IPC data.
