An open-access, web-based platform empowering stakeholders in the agri-food sector to develop gender-sensitive and resilience-building strategies through data-driven insights on food system vulnerabilities, nutrient adequacy, and policy options across Africa.
Africa is one of the continents most threatened by climate change. Increasing extreme weather events — droughts, floods, irregular rainfall, and temperature spikes — are disrupting agriculture, destroying assets, and hampering livelihoods of smallholder farmers and rural communities.
Rural communities face severely limited access to user-friendly, timely, and spatially disaggregated data including future forecasts. National agricultural statistics systems are not prepared for the frequency and severity of future climatic and economic shocks.
Existing systems do not adequately capture gender-specific or intersectional disadvantages. Early identification of vulnerable communities paired with gender-specific data is essential for differentiated prevention strategies and targeted response measures.
The FS-COR platform combines vulnerability mapping, gender-disaggregated nutrition analysis, and policy simulation — enabling comprehensive, data-based decision-making at sub-national level.
Sub-national vulnerability maps, composite food system indices, and gender-disaggregated nutrient adequacy data to identify the most at-risk communities.
Model the impact of food price changes and income shocks on household food consumption and nutrient intake to design targeted, resilience-building interventions.
Vulnerability indices covering drought and climate risk, quality of health systems, nutrient adequacy, and food consumption — all spatially disaggregated to sub-national regions.
Transparent, science-based documentation of all data sources, country-specific models, and analytical frameworks — enabling reproducibility and informed policy use.
