        How this portal works
        • Country shading uses the WFP HungerMap LIVE percentage of population in insufficient food consumption — their daily mobile-survey + earth-observation pipeline.
        • IPC Phase 3+ flags mark countries with at least one assessed area at Crisis level (Phase 3), Emergency (Phase 4), or Famine (Phase 5). Phase classifications are area-based, not country-aggregated — the flag means “some part of this country is in Phase 3 or worse,” not that the whole country is.
        • The recommender derives need-signals (hunger %, people in Phase 3+ areas, conflict and climate alert flags, World Bank income tier) and ranks the catalog by use-case match plus simplicity.
        • National hunger figures hide intra-country variation. A country shaded yellow may have districts in red; for sub-national hunger, FEWS NET and the IPC technical reports are linked.
        • Your pins live in your browser’s local storage. Use Export JSON to back them up.
        • No accounts. No tracking. No upload. Outbound calls from the browser: our own server (live data), OpenFreeMap (basemap).

        Sources: country borders — Natural Earth (public domain); basemap — OpenFreeMap & OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL); country hunger — WFP HungerMap LIVE (CC BY 4.0), refreshed daily; IPC / Cadre Harmonisé classifications — IPC; rendering — MapLibre GL JS (BSD-3); action catalogue assembled from open-access references including WFP, FAO, ReFED, GiveWell.

        Country averages are coarse signals — they tell you whether to look more carefully, not where exactly the hunger is. See methodology.
