The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) has officially launched HungerMap Live, a next-generation digital intelligence platform designed to transform global hunger data into early action.
Unveiled at the UN headquarters in New York City on Thursday, the platform integrates extensive food security data and analysis with predictive modeling capabilities. It is able to make AI-assisted forecast of food needs in WEP designated Hunger Hotspots.
Jean Martin Bauer, the WEP's director of food security and nutrition analysis, says HungerMap Live shares the organization's analytics from about 300 specialists all over the world with the general public.
By combining on-the-ground insights with critical data, HungerMap Live empowers decision-makers, communities, humanitarian agencies, and donors to intervene before hunger becomes fatal.
