Funder: Internal IPORA
Status: Ongoing
Impact:
1 doctoral fellowship is associated to the project:
– Name of doctoral fellow : Alemayehu Geletu
– Title: Atlas of Food Security in Ethiopia and Côte d’Ivoire
One additional PhD candidate is being recruited in Côte d’Ivoire.
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).
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.
Aggregation of data from data sources listed in Table 1 below, after securing all appropriate user rights.

• in Ethiopia, all data has been assembled and spatio-temporal interpolation approaches developed to produce all related maps (over 100 indicators with values available at sub-district level). A data paper is being drafted, along with two analytical papers leveraging the capabilities of the Atlas to inform research and policies.
• In Côte d’Ivoire: an agreement with the Central Statistical Agency is being drafted.
