Intended audience

• World Food Programme (WFP)

• Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)

• Government Departments (Department of Agriculture)

• Civil Society

• Community Organisations

• Red Cross Societies

Influence on humanitarian decisions

This map marries the amount of food estimated as needed for a critical period with the amount which has been delivered to date. This can be repeated for several different commodities.

Methods

Using a simple basemap with administrative areas, text labels show the name of the administration area, and total for needs, delivered, for delivery, gaps. Can be programmed to pick up values in different columns so that a suite of maps for different commodities can be produced easily. A colour coded and symbology can enhance the visuals on the cartography.
