When might it be produced?

It should be produced as early as possible and updated throughout.

Intended audience

• Food security cluster

• World Food Programme (WFP)

• Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

Influence on humanitarian decisions

It describes who is working, on what and where. It provides an operational picture and the aim is that it helps prevent a duplication of effort by agencies and target the gaps of a response.

Methods

Use a simple basemap and include key operational centres, where actors are working, what they are doing and what has been done at a specific point in time. Mixture of maps and charts based on survey responses.
