The Big Picture
The Famine Action Mechanism is a World Bank-led intiative that seeks to eradicate famine by strenghtening the links between early warnings, financing, and implementation arrangements.
My Role
My main contribution has been to create and mantain a time-series dataset that combines granular information of the problem (food insecurity outcomes) with key predictors (agronomic stress, conflict, and market disruptions).
This dataset is currently used by our team to model the risk of future food crises, providing direct insights to FAM for better preparadness and earlier release of funds.
Work Samples
- Computing Monthly Weather Statistics (Google Earth Engine)
- Spatial Interpolation of Market Prices (R)
- Overlay of Conflict Events and Food Insecurity in Yemen
