Yemen: CrisisInSight Core Dataset
Created: 02/08/2019 +

Overview

The ACAPS Yemen Analysis Hub aims to support a stronger evidence base for humanitarian decision-makers in Yemen through inter-sectoral and forward-looking analysis. This is the core dataset for the Yemen Analysis Hub.

It includes all 333 districts and is updated on a monthly basis. This dataset brings together data from a range of sources to provide a greater overall and comparative understanding of the current situation and context inside each district. The core indicators consist of key drivers (conflict, basic commodity prices, exclusion and marginalization, and disrupted access to life-saving services and income sources) and their major expected humanitarian impacts (food insecurity, cholera). The dataset includes a mix of quantitative and qualitative data. Qualitative data is collected by ACAPS through daily media monitoring, secondary data review, thematic products and discussions with experts in Yemen and the region. ACAPS tracks changes in these indicators and alerts the humanitarian community to emerging trends or risks that could overwhelm local coping mechanisms in Yemen, triggering a humanitarian emergency. This dataset forms the core of ACAPS Yemen Crisis Insight bi-monthly products such as the Yemen: Crisis Impact Overview and Yemen Risk Overview, and ad hoc risk alerts.
