Afghanistan: Integrated Context Analysis (ICA), 2019

This layer contains information about the recurrence of total food insecurity estimated during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019. Data source: National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) 2007/08, Afghanistan Living Condition Survey (ALCS) 2011/12, 2014 and 2017/18. To assess the food security trend, the threshold was set to 30% because very close to the national average according to the four assessments considered. The key indicator used for the analysis was the recurrence of food insecurity above the threshold.

This layer contains information about the drought hazard estimated during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) performed in Afghanistan in 2019. Data source: HQ VAM Analysis of NDVI, NASA Terra MODIS 2013-2018. The key indicator used for the purposes of the analysis was the average number of poor growing seasons observed in the time frame of interest - by definition, in the context of this specific analysis, it is considered a poor growing season when the NDVI observed in the single year is significantly below (less than 85%) the long-term average, calculated over the last 18 years.

This layer contains information about the final classification deriving from the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019, showing the areas of convergence between recurrence of total food insecurity and propensity to natural shocks (floods, landslides and drought).

This layer contains information about the severity of natural hazards (floods, drought and landslides) estimated during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) performed in Afghanistan in 2019. Data sources: GHM 2009, UNEP/UNISDR GAR 2013, HQ VAM Analysis of NDVI, NASA Terra MODIS 2013-2018.

This layer contains information about the number of food insecure people calculated out of the food security assessments used in the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019. Data sources: The key indicators used for the purposes of the analysis were the percentage of food insecure people for long-term planning and the numbers of additional food insecure people in case of a major shock.

This document contains the results of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) conducted in the Afghanistan in 2019. The analysis brings together the exposure of natural shocks (floods, drought and landslides) and the recurrence of food insecurity with other key contextual information to provide broad programmatic strategies by second-level administrative area.

This layer contains information about the landslide hazard estimated during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019. Data source: UNEP/UNISDR Global Assessment of Risk (GAR), 2013. The key indicators used for the analysis were the percentage of surface area affected by landslide risk and the maximum expected frequency of landslide events.

This layer contains information about the land degradation phenomenon - by second-level administrative area - observed for the purposes of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019. Data sources: HQ OSE GIS Analysis of NASA MODIS 2001-2016, WorldClim 1970-2000, FAO and NASA SRTM Digital Elevation Model data. The main indicators used for the analysis were the average ecological changes observed between 2001-2006 and 2011-2016 and the percentage of erosion-prone surface.

This layer contains information about the malnutrition levels observed during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019. Data source: Afghanistan Health Survey (AHS), 2018. The key indicator used for the purposes of the analysis was the prevalence of Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) in children below 5 years of age.

This layer contains information about the recurrence of severe and very severe food insecurity estimated during the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019. Data source: National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) 2007/08, Afghanistan Living Condition Survey (ALCS) 2011/12, 2014 and 2017/18. To assess the food security trend and considering an average national food insecurity close to 30%, the threshold was set to 10% to better identify the most vulnerable districts. The key indicator used for the analysis was the recurrence of severe and very severe food insecurity above the threshold.

This Excel file contains the food insecurity analysis performed for the purposes of the Integrated Context Analysis (ICA) run in Afghanistan in 2019. The analysis, using NRVA and ALCS data from 2007/08 to 2017/18, determines the recurrence of total food insecurity conditions - by second-level administrative area - applying a threshold equal to 30%.
