African Risk Capacity’s Africa RiskView

The African Risk Capacity’s (ARC) Africa RiskView (ARV) tool combines Earth Observation (EO) data with population vulnerability data to provide an early-warning model that measures food insecurity and estimates response costs, enabling decision-makers to plan and respond quickly and efficiently to drought stresses. The partnership between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the EO4SD CR cluster allowed enhancements to the ARV tool with the previously unavailable essential climate variables.
