Author(s): Paolo Romano
This report presents a review of data management and mapping tools used to improve informed decisionmaking in food security, and makes some recommendations for their implementation within the EC CGP/RAS/247/EC, which aims to link information and decision PDR and Myanmar. The report makes recommendations and proposals for data management and mapping tools in line with the projects’ objective of developing national and regional mechanisms to monitor, analyse, and report on (i) the prices of food staples; (ii) agriculture disaster risks caused by climate hazards, including the identification of priority climate change risk management options; and (iii) chronic food insecurity, livelihoods and vulnerability.
