Humanitarian Food Assistance
The Humanitarian Food Assistance domain provides humanitarian food assistance (HFA) data as an indicator to identify famine and determine the severity of food security and nutrition crises. This data is compatible with the Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) system.
The Humanitarian Food Assistance domain is broken into two sections:
1. Filter Data
You can search by various criteria including:
Country: Country name.
Scenario: The name of the scenario, i.e., Current Situation, Near Term Projection, or Medium Term Projection.
Learn more about search functionality in FDE.
You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:
Geographic area: Filters by the location of the HFA data. This filter aggregates items into multi-level lists (e.g., admin 1 units are aggregated into countries, which are aggregated into regions). Selecting the higher-level item in the list will automatically select all the lower-level items in the list.
Scale: Filers by the food security classification scale used, i.e., Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) scale versions 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1.
Scenario: Filters by the IPC scenario, i.e., Current Situation, Near Term Projection, and Medium Term Projection.
2. Data Visualization and Export
Visualize
The Humanitarian Food Assistance domain currently includes a Table visualization. The Metadata tab contains descriptions and definitions of the metadata included in the visualizations and export data.
Customize Export
The Humanitarian Food Assistance domain includes the following options:
File format: Choose from one of the available file formats. This will apply to both downloads and refreshable links.
Download: Provides a download of a static dataset. This will export only the data series that you have selected.
Copy link: Copies a refreshable link that connects directly to the FEWS NET Data Warehouse database server, allowing Excel, your browser, or another application to automatically fetch data from the server whenever the link is accessed.
