When might it be produced?
Once HEA assessment complete. Full assessment normally takes about 4 weeks so if depends at what point we enter the response and whether assessments are already underway. Otherwise see the 'Response' table in which a Rapid HEA can be performed.
Intended audience
World Food Programme (WFP)
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
Influence on humanitarian decisions
Supports a contextual understanding of the area of interest. Useful for understanding risk to population and where areas are more prone to transition to a higher level of food insecurity.
Methods
Similar to the second map but will tend to have higher granularity of information, as would be based on more comprehensive assessment and primary data collection by other agencies.
