The FSAU Geographic Information System team produces maps, data sets,
and analysis of relevant spatial data for internal and external use.
FSAU also assist partners, donors, and the Somali community by
producing maps and spatial data sets on a regular basis. Other data
sets from partner organizations such as UNICEF, WHO, and UNDP are
included in this online archive of digital maps. All maps and data sets
are available for free by request in .pdf format. In the future, GIS
standard format files will also be provided.
Note that the boundaries
and names on these maps do not imply official endorsement or acceptance
by the United Nations. The regional and district boundaries reflect
those endorsed by the Government of the Republic of Somalia in
1986.
Agriculture Maps
These maps based on FSAU data indicate seasonal
(Gu and Deyr) production and comparative statistics for past production
trends (post war average, previous season etc).
Markets Maps
FSAU and FEWS/NET monitors 36 markets across Somalia including the
major cereal and livestock markets. The following maps relate to the
monitored markets:
Nutrition Maps
FSAU produces maps highlighting the areas of concern based on the
nutritional situation, trends, as well as maps indicating nutrition
survey sites since 1999. These maps show the trend in malnutrition,
provide an update on the current situation and indicate locations of
reporting health facilities.
Food Security Phase Classification FSAU has developed a standardized classification mechanism to enable a
stronger linkage between information and response. The Integrated Food
Security Phase Classification map is included here. It consists of
criteria to integrate multiple facets of food and livelihood security
information into a simple statement indicating levels of severity and
general implications for humanitarian response. This information
is mapped seasonally, in a consistent manner indicating geographic
areas of concern, levels of severity, a causal summary, and projected
trend.
FSAU Livelihoods Zones, Management Areas, and Somali Livelihood Indicator Monitoring Maps FSAU utilizes a livelihoods approach to food security analysis which
categorizes geographic areas based on livelihoods. Included below are
also maps on FSAU's field level management structure and nodes for data
collection and the Somali Livelihood Indicator Monitoring System
(SLIMS) town locations.
OTHER MAPS Included below are other maps either produced by FSAU or made available
here for the benefit of the community. Also included are general
geographic maps on administrative regions, demography, education, and
displacement. Some maps are based upon data from partners
organizations. Non-FSAU based maps include source information within
the legend.
