Seasonal Explorer

Seasonal Explorer will allow users to

assess the performance of the current and

past rainfall seasons, the timing and

intensity of drier or wetter than average

conditions and their impact on vegetation

status at the subnational level for most

countries. Users can download time series

datasets for a near-global set of

administrative divisions, going back to

1981 for rainfall and 2002 for vegetation.

Economic Explorer is a platform to explore

latest economic indicators including food

prices, currency exchange rates, inflation

rates, etc. It is possible to search food

price data by administrative areas

countries where WFP has operations. Data

can be downloaded by country,

commodities and selected time series.
