- Summary:
-
Background ad justification:
In order to foster the research-to-policy dialogues that underlies IPORA’s general approach, it is necessary to identify existing sources of food-security data, secure user-rights with their providers and engage in the merging of multiple data sources, through time and space to better inform micro-level diagnostic estimates of food security issues and related drivers (through parallel development of innovative geographic interpolation approaches).
-
Objective:
provide a series of highly disaggregated maps for Ethiopia and Côte d’Ivoire, on the evolution of food security over the past 20 years, along with key environmental, economic and political drivers.
-
Main methods:
Aggregation of data from data sources listed in Table 1 below, after securing all appropriate user rights.

- Progress:
• in Ethiopia, all data has been assembled and spatio-temporal interpolation approaches developed to produce all related maps (over 100 indicators with values available at sub-district level). A data paper is being drafted, along with two analytical papers leveraging the capabilities of the Atlas to inform research and policies.
• In Côte d’Ivoire: an agreement with the Central Statistical Agency is being drafted.
