The Acute Food Insecurity Population Estimates domain is broken into three two sections:
1.
...
You can search by various criteria including:
Data source document: name and organization
Data series: name, description, and metadata
Learn more about search functionality in FDE.
You can filter the available data series using one or more of the following criteria:
...
Period: Filters by the collection/reporting period.
Start date: Returns all data series starting on or before this date.
End date: Returns all data series ending on or after this date.
...
Filter Data
The Acute Food Insecurity Population Estimates domain includes the following options for filtering data:
Start date and End date:Filters data series by the period dates of all data points within the series. All data series with at least one data point that has a period date inside the date range will be displayed.
...
Geographic area: Filters by location of the FIPE data. This filter aggregates items into a 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.
Phase: Filers by IPC Acute Food Insecurity Phase.
Scenario: Filters by scenario (i.e., Current situation, Most likely in 6 months, or Most likely).
Searching and/or applying filters creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.
2. Data Selection
Once you have applied your search terms and filters, you will be presented with a list of all available data series that match your criteria. A data series is a collection of related data points from a single data source that are viewable as a single row within a table of data. They represent the change over time of a specific indicator. Data series are presented in table format where each row represents a single data series.
The Acute Food Insecurity Population Estimates domain data selection table includes the following columns:
Country: The name of the country for which an estimate was given.
Geographic unit: A geographic area or point such as a portion of a country or other region delineated for a specific purpose, such as an Administrative Unit (Province, District, County, etc.), Livelihood Zone, or Market.
Phase: IPC Acute Food Insecurity Phase Classification.
Scenario: The food security scenario that the data series represents, for example, “current situation” or “worst case in 3 months”.
First: Period date for the first collection/reporting period in the data series.
Last: Period date for the last collection/reporting period in the data series.
Count: The number of data points in the data series.
Info: Hover over the information icon in a row to see more details including the data series ID, data source document, and data usage policy.

To visualize and export data, you will need to select one or more data series by checking the box at the beginning of the row containing that series. |
In addition to selecting data series, you can interact with the data selection table in the following ways:
Selected data series can be viewed in the Selected tab.
You can clear your selections using the Clear Selection button.
By default the series are ordered alphabetically by country. You can click on the header of any column to sort by that column instead of by country.
Selecting one or more data series creates a savable dataset. For more information on creating and saving datasets, see Create and Save Datasets.
Note: The International category in this filter contains countries not currently monitored by FEWS NET.

You must select one or more geographic areas before choosing a scenario. |
Data Source Document: Filters by the name of the document used as the primary source of information or data.
The Annual Peak Food Assistance Needs includes projections in each monitored Country for the total population that would likely face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity in the absence of any emergency food assistance, during its projected period of highest need, which typically occurs during a country's lean season.
The Food Assistance Outlook Brief summarizes FEWS NET's projection of the population in need of urgent food assistance and the severity of anticipated acute food insecurity (the highest IPC area-level classification) in each FEWS NET-monitored country seven months into the future.
Scenario: There are two scenario options available:
Best Available: Shows the current situation for all periods. Only the most recent near and medium term projections will be included.
All: Shows all scenarios for all periods, including near and medium term projections from past periods.
