HungerMapLIVE: Madagascar insight and key trends By the World Food Programme (WFP) | 9 August 2021
FOOD INSECURITY AT A GLANCE
5.5M 26.3M 1.1M Chronic hunger Population Acute hunger (undernourishment) (INSTAT Census 2018 with a IPC Phase 3+ 2.46% growth rate, 2020) (SOFI Report, 2021)1 (IPC, Apr 2021 - Sep 2021)2
The HungerMapLIVE tracks core indicators of acute hunger in near real-time.
Acute hunger is measured by key indicators such as household food consumption, livelihood behaviors, child nutritional status, mortality, access to clean drinking water and other contextual factors. The HungerMapLIVE primarily tracks trends on household food consumption, consumption-based coping and livelihood changes to track multiple aspects of food insecurity. As these are outcome level 1 indicators in the Integrated Food Security Phase Classifcation (IPC) Framework, they can provide early indications of potential shifts in acute food insecurity.
Insufcient food consumption (HungerMapLIVE data)3 7.0M → 6.8M As of 11 May 2021 As of 9 August 2021
Crisis or above crisis level food-based coping strategies (HungerMapLIVE data)3 10.5M → 12.4M As of 11 May 2021 As of 9 August 2021
Methodology Note: The HungerMapLIVE includes data from two sources: (1) WFP’s continuous, near real-time monitoring systems, which remotely collect thousands of data daily through live calls conducted by call centres around the world; and (2) machine learning-based predictive models. Therefore, to note this diferentiation, this report indicates whether a region’s data is based on WFP’s near real-time monitoring systems (marked ‘ACTUAL’) or predictive models (marked ‘PREDICTED’).

The HungerMapLIVE divides regions into various tiers of risk based on: the prevalence of insufcient food consumption and the prevalence of households utilizing crisis or above crisis level food-based coping strategies, as well as the change in these prevalences from 90 days ago (11 May 2021) until now (9 August 2021). Regions are divided into these tiers based on the following criteria:
Tier 1: High Risk and Deteriorating. Regions with more than 40% Tier 2: High Risk and Stable. Regions with more than 40% prevalence for prevalence for the average of the above two indicators AND signifcant the average of the above two indicators AND no signifcant deterioration deterioration observed for the average of both indicators from 90 days observed for the average of both indicators from 90 days ago. ago.
Tier 3: Moderate Risk and Deteriorating. Regions with less than 40% Tier 4: Moderate Risk and Stable. Regions with less than 40% prevalence prevalence for the average of the above two indicators AND signifcant for the average of the above two indicators AND no signifcant deterioration observed for the average of both indicators from 90 days deterioration observed for the average of both indicators from 90 days ago. ago.
Regions marked for deterioration for these metrics must satisfy one of the following conditions: (1) >40% prevalence: 15% increase, (2) 20-40% prevalence: 20% increase, (3) <20% prevalence: 25% increase. HungerMapLIVE: Madagascar insight and key trends 9 August 2021
