Title: Prevalence of stunting among children under five, by lowest available subnational administrative unit, varying years (FGGD)

Reference date:

Date: 20070625

Type of date: publication

Abstract:

The FGGD prevalence of stunting map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. The percentage of stunted children undev five year old is reported according to the lowest available sub-national administrative units: all pixels within the unit boundaries will have the same value. Data have been compiled by FAO from different sources: Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), UNICEF MICS, WHO Global Database on Child Growth and Malnutrition, and national surveys.

Purpose:

The FGGD Digital Atlas consists of more than 100 global database that allows to analyse food insecurity and poverty in relation to the environment.
