About the FEWS NET Data Management Platform

The FEWS NET Data Platform acts as the central storage location and access portal for data relied upon by FEWS NET and their work in food security and early warning analysis. The Platform is made up of two primary sub-components: The Data Explorer and Data Warehouse.

• Data Explorer: Focused on access, the Data Explorer system provides users with search and filter functions to quickly find, review and download data routinely used in the FEWS NET Project’s food security and early warning analysis.

• Data Warehouse: Focused on storage, the Data Warehouse system provides functionality needed to store key datasets routinely used in the FEWS NET Project’s food security and early warning analysis.
