Abstract:

The FGGD estimated number of stunted children map is a global raster datalayer with a resolution of 5 arc-minutes. The number of stunted children is estimated according to the lowest available sub-national administrative units: all pixels within the unit boundaries will have the same value, that means the estimated number of stunted children in the unit. Data have been compiled by FAO using three main information: the prevalence of stunting, LandScan global population database and the percentage of children under five. This last information is at national level and its source is UNICEF.

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.
