Mapping & GIS (Geographical Information systems)

For content related to WFP's mapping and GIS services. WFP uses GIS, innovative satellite applications and mobile data collection platforms to collect, manage and analyse data, e.g. for agricultural and climate monitoring, disaster analysis, etc. which may have an effect on food security. Using the power of GIS, WFP combines and analyses geo-referenced household survey data with a variety of spatial data from infrastructural networks and markets locations to satellite derived information on rainfall and vegetation cover. Do not use for all maps or satellite images, for these use document type “maps” for maps, do not store photos.
