With its Global Militarisation Index (GMI), BICC is able to objectively depict worldwide militarisation for the first time. The GMI compares, for example, a country’s military expenditure with its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and its health expenditure.
It contrasts the total number of military and paramilitary forces in a country with the number of physicians. Finally, it studies the number of heavy weapons available to a country’s armed forces. These and other indicators are used to determine a country’s ranking, which in turn makes it possible to measure the respective level of militarisation in comparison to other countries.
The latest GMI of 2018 covers 155 countries and is based on the latest available figures (in most cases data for 2017). Israel, Singapore, Armenia, Cyprus, South Korea, Russia, Greece, Jordan, Brunei and Belarus are the top 10 worldwide. These countries allocate particularly high levels of resources to the military in comparison to other areas of society. See project website for more information

The UEMS Database gathers information on accidental explosions of abandoned, damaged, improperly stored, or properly stored stockpiles of ammunition and explosives at munitions sites. It documents more than 600 incidents occurred from 1979 onwards and it is periodically updated. The UEMS Database provides details on the location, the number of casualties (fatalities and injuries) as well as the alleged cause of the incident, depending on available information.

REACH initiative, in coordination with the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster, conducted the XV round of Camp Profiling and the eighth round of Movement Intentions in IDP camps. Both assessments seek to understand the multi-sectoral needs of IDPs in camps, their movement intentions in the short and long term, and the barriers that IDPs face to return to their area of origin (AoO).

Drawing from UN archival records, the IPI Peacekeeping Database presents the first publicly available database of total uniformed personnel contributions of each contributing country by month, by type (troop, police, or expert/observer) and by mission, from November 1990 to 2012. See Trends in Uniformed Contributions to UN Peacekeeping Operations: A New Dataset, 1991-2012 (Chris Perry and Adam C. Smith) for a full description of the database and some initial findings from the data regarding overall trends in uniformed contributions to UN peacekeeping.

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)
