The FAOB template allows multiple data collections to be created from one upload (: public and internal population estimates, and public and internal highest household). . The associated source documents in FDW for these data collections are as follows:
FEWS NET: Food Assistance Outlook Brief
FEWS NET: Food Assistance Outlook Brief, FEWS NET/USAID Only
FEWS NET: Food Assistance Outlook Brief, Highest FIC
FEWS NET: Food Assistance Outlook Brief, Highest FIC, FEWS NET/USAID Only
Preparing internal and public FAOB data in the template will fall under one of the following three scenarios:
Public and internal data values are the same:
Provide values in the columns for public data and leave the columns for internal data blank. FDW will ascribe the values to both the public and internal source documents.
Public and internal data values differ:
Provide values in the columns for public and internal data. FDW will separate out the data into the public and internal source documents.
Internal data only:
Provide values in the columns for internal data, and either:
Specify NA values in the columns for public data to include the country as not analyzed in extracts of that month’s public data, or
Leave the columns for public data blank if you plan to add public data at a later time. If the values are blank, the country will not be reflected in extracts of that month’s public data.
