Data Grid Completeness defines
a set of core data that are essential for preparedness and emergency response.
For select countries, the HDX Team and trusted partners evaluate datasets available on HDX and add those meeting the definition of a core data category to the Data Grid Completeness board above. Please help us improve this feature by sending your feedback to
hdx@un.org.

The Index for Risk Management INFORM is a composite indicator developed by JRC as a tool for understanding the risk of humanitarian crisis and disasters.
The AFDB Statistical Data Portal has been developed in response to the increasing demand for statistical data and indicators relating to African Countries. The Portal provides multiple customized tools to gather indicators, analyze them, and export them into multiple formats.
With the Data Portal, you can visualize Socio-Economic indicators over a period of time, gain access to presentation-ready graphics and perform comprehensive analysis on a Country and Regional level
WorldPop produces different types of gridded population count datasets, depending on the methods used and end application.
Please make sure you have read our Mapping Populations overview page before choosing and downloading a dataset.
A description of the modelling methods used for age and sex structures can be found in
Tatem et al and
Pezzulo et al. Details of the input population count datasets used can be found here, and age/sex structure proportion datasets here.
Both top-down 'unconstrained' and 'constrained' versions of the datasets are available, and the differences between the two methods are outlined
here. The datasets represent the outputs from a project focused on construction of consistent 100m resolution population count datasets for all countries of the World structured by male/female and 5-year age classes (plus a <1 year class). These efforts necessarily involved some shortcuts for consistency. The unconstrained datasets are available for each year from 2000 to 2020.
The constrained datasets are only available for 2020 at present, given the time periods represented by the building footprint and built settlement datasets used in the mapping.
Data for earlier dates is available directly from WorldPop.

The dataset has been developed by merging Admin2 geodata of the nine countries of the Sahel region coming from several sources (SALB, governments, WFP....).
Ce jeu de données renseigne sur les activités mises en oeuvre par la FAO dans le cadre de sa stratégie de réponse à la crise du bassin lac TCHAD sur la période 2017-2019. Il renseigne sur les activités réalisées , le montant des financements et le nombre personnes vulnérables assistées.
Cameroon is currently faced with three simultaneous crises, whose combined effect has severely impacted the most vulnerable communities, threatening their livelihoods and eroding their ability to adapt. According to the latest census issued in October 2016, the number of internally displaced people (IDPs) has increased by more than 115 percent, reaching a total of 199 000 as compared to early 20154. This adds to approximately 259 145 Central Africans and 74,000 Nigerian refugees hosted in Adamaoua, EST, Nord and Far North regions. The food security situation has consequently deteriorated from 19 percent in 2015 to 24 percent in 2016, now affecting nearly 2.5 million people - almost 80 percent of whom reside in the North and Far North regions. Additionally, there are concerns of disease outbreaks, including cholera and measles. These strains on an already vulnerable population have pushed the country into a humanitarian crisis; with some agencies like WFP declaring a Level Three emergency in Cameroon from May to August, and the country remains on alert.
As determined by a recent joint CALP/OCHA mission on 7-11 November 2016, a number of agencies are turning to cash transfers as a modality of delivering aid in hard to reach areas. Cash Based Transfers (CBT) programs have already been implemented in the East and Far North regions in Cameroon by various agencies including: World Food Programme, Catholic Relief Services, International Rescue Committee (IRC), French Red Cross, Premiere Urgence International (PUI), PAJED (MINJEC/GIZ) and Plan International, in the sectors of Food Security and Nutrition, Economic Recovery and Livelihoods and WASH.
CERF allocations are made to ensure a rapid response to sudden-onset emergencies or to rapidly deteriorating conditions in an existing emergency and to support humanitarian response activities within an underfunded emergency.
Please note that the table below summarizes approved CERF allocations made through the Rapid Response window and Underfunded Emergencies window from 2006 to 2017 in Cameroon. The sub-national information have been and they are based on the information collect from projects.
All these allocations could be found on CERF website at http://www.unocha.org/cerf/cerf-worldwide/allocations-country/2017
The health and survival of women and their new-born babies in low income countries is a key public health priority, but basic and consistent subnational data on the number of pregnancies to support decision making has been lacking. WorldPop integrates small area data on the distribution of women of childbearing age, age-specific fertility rates, still births and abortions to map the estimated distributions of pregnancies for each 1x1km grid square across all low and middle income countries. Further details on the methods can be found in Tatem et al and James et al..

Contains data from OCHA's Financial Tracking Service on the financial requirements and current funding levels for appeals in the Lake Chad Basin crisis countries. Data is encoded as utf-8. The second row of the CSV contains HXL tags.
The data contains the latest estimated population of each administrative level 1 unit in the Lake Chad Basin. Estimation is based on input from UNFPA and the most recently available census for each country. Data is encoded as utf-8. The second row of the CSV contains HXL tags.
The Income Activities dataset includes data on income generation at the household level. Sources of income listed include labor, agriculture, asset sales, and remittances, among others. It is available for 32 countries.
