• 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.
