Global Food Security-support Analysis Data (GFSAD) Cropland Extent-Product 2015 Validation 30 m V001

This dataset contains a list of the countries affected by the El Niño as at April 21, 2016 as reported jointly by FAO, the Global Food Security Cluster and WFP on 21 April 2016 in the 2015-2016 El Niño: WFP and FAO Overview update. According to the World Bank, El Niño is likely to have a negative impact in more isolated local food markets, and many countries are already facing increased food prices. Food Security Cluster partners have implemented preparedness activities and are responding in countries where the effects of El Niño have materialised, such as Ethiopia, Papua New Guinea, Malawi and throughout Central America. In Southern Africa, many areas have seen the driest October-December period since at least 1981, and some 14 million people in the region are already facing hunger, which adds to fears of a spike in the numbers of the food insecure later this year through 2017.

This Archive contains shapefiles for FEWS NET Food Security Outlook for **East Africa**. It was last updated on April 12, 2016. The classification used is IPC V2.0 Compatible, aimed to address acute food insecurity. The two shapefiles represent the two analytic periods: * EA201304_ML1 Most likely food security outcome for January-March 2016 * EA201304_ML2 Most likely food security outcome for April-June 2016 Within the shapefiles, the food security outlook is contained in a field named as ML1 or ML2 according to the outlook period. The code itself is the IPC phase. Two additional codes are used: * 66 = water * 88 = parks, forests, reserves * 99 = missing data (usually urban centers)
