This layer shows the percentage of children under 6 months who are exclusively breastfed, meaning they receive only breast milk without any additional food or drink. Exclusive breastfeeding is a key determinant of child survival, growth, and development.

Constrained estimates of the total number of people per spatial unit, derived from high-resolution population distribution data produced by the WorldPop Global Demographic Data project. These estimates are based on a 30-arcsecond (~1 km) resolution modeling framework and incorporate official census counts, administrative boundaries, and a suite of geospatial covariates.

This layer shows the percentage of stunting among children under 5 years of age, a form of chronic undernutrition reflected in low height-for-age. Stunting can result from prolonged food insecurity, poor maternal health, or inadequate early childhood care. Areas with high stunting rates indicate long-term development challenges and can help guide interventions aimed at improving nutrition, health services, and water and sanitation infrastructure.

This dataset provides estimates of the total number of under-5 children per grid cell, for Uganda. The data come from the WorldPop R2025A, version v1 release. The dataset is available in GeoTIFF format at a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds (approximately 1 km at the equator). All layers use the WGS84 Geographic Coordinate System.

Crop conditions monitoring is highly relevant for food security early warning and response planning in food-insecure areas of the world. GEOGLAM (the Group on Earth Observations' Global Agricultural Monitoring Initiative) aims to reinforce the international community's capacity to produce and disseminate relevant, timely, and accurate forecasts of agricultural production at national, regional, and global scales using Earth Observation data.

Copernicus4GEOGLAM, one of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Services managed by the EC Joint Research Centre, aims to produce baseline information that allows countries in Africa to improve their agricultural monitoring systems.

This dataset aggregates crop maps requested by three East African nations, showing the agricultural situation at the end of the long rain season of 2021. The results are made fully and freely accessible, covering the following areas:

• Kenya: 98,687 km²
• Tanzania: 116,190 km²
• Uganda: 89,296 km²

The INFORM Risk Index 2021 is a composite model structured into a hierarchy of dimensions, categories, and components. All scores are normalized on a scale of 0 to 10 (10 being the highest risk).

Below is the clear breakdown of the index's architecture based on your descriptions:

1. The Composite Index

The top-level score representing a country's overall risk of humanitarian crisis. It is used to assign countries into Risk Classes:

• Low: ≤3.5
• Medium: 3.5−5.0
• High: 5.0−6.5
• Very High: ≥6.5

2. Dimension: Vulnerability

This dimension measures the predisposition of a population to be affected by a hazard based on economic, political, and social characteristics.

Sub-Index: Socio-Economic Vulnerability

An aggregate index covering three main components of systemic instability:

• Development Deprivation: Measures poverty using the Human Development Index (HDI) and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI).
• Inequality: Captures the dispersion of human development, including the Gender Inequality Index and the Gini Coefficient.
• Aid Dependency: Measures economic instability through reliance on public aid, development assistance, and remittances.

Sub-Index: Vulnerable Groups

Captures social groups with limited access to care and heightened susceptibility:

• Uprooted People: Tracks refugees, IDPs, and returnees.
• Children Under 5: Specifically monitors child malnutrition and mortality rates.
• Recent Shocks: Factors in populations already affected by natural disasters in the last 3 years.
• Food Security: Captures trends in chronic hunger and nutritional balance.
• Health Conditions: Monitors the prevalence of pandemics (HIV, TB, Malaria) and neglected tropical diseases.

3. Dimension: Lack of Coping Capacity

This dimension measures the ability of a country to manage and recover from disasters through its infrastructure and government effort.

Sub-Index: Institutional Capacity

Measures the "soft" infrastructure of a country's disaster management:

• Governance: Captures government effectiveness, resilience-building, and political integrity (lack of corruption).
• DRR Implementation: Quantifies how well Disaster Risk Reduction activities are actually put into practice.

Sub-Index: Infrastructure

Measures the "hard" assets and systems available during a crisis:

• Communication: Evaluates the efficiency of early warning dissemination and the literacy/education of the recipients.
• Physical Connectivity: Assesses the accessibility of transport and the quality/availability of water and sanitation services.
• Access to Healthcare: Captures health system strength, including physician density and maternal/infant health services.

Priority areas are identified using local coefficients estimated through Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which measures the spatially varying relationship between access to electricity and four nutrition indicators among children under five: stunting, wasting, severe wasting, and underweight.

The tool highlights locations where the local association between electricity access and the selected nutrition indicator is both negative and statistically significant. In this application, priority areas are further restricted to locations where electricity access is below 80%, ensuring that the results remain relevant for policy intervention.

The identified areas are classified as having strong, moderate, or mild associations according to the magnitude of the local GWR coefficient. This classification helps users determine the appropriate intensity of intervention. The spatially varying coefficients therefore allow users to identify areas where limited electricity access is most strongly associated with poorer nutritional outcomes among children under five, supporting targeted interventions, programme planning, and place-based development strategies.

Priority areas are identified using local coefficients estimated through Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which measures the spatially varying relationship between access to sanitation infrastructure and health using the indicator of under 5 mortality. The tool highlights locations where the local association between sanitation access and the selected gender indicator is both negative and statistically significant. The identified areas are classified as having strong, moderate, or mild associations according to the magnitude of the local GWR coefficient. This classification helps users determine the appropriate intensity of intervention. The spatially varying coefficients therefore allow users to identify areas where limited sanitation access is most strongly associated with higher child mortality, supporting targeted interventions, programme planning, and place-based development strategies.

Priority areas are identified using local coefficients estimated through Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which measures the spatially varying relationship between access to piped water and four nutrition indicators among children under five: stunting, wasting, severe wasting, and underweight.

In this application, priority areas are further restricted to locations where piped water access is below 80%, ensuring that the results remain relevant for policy intervention.
