Yemen

The conflict in Yemen has escalated since 2015 and lasts until 2018. According to FAO, fighting in Yemen had a massive impact on agricultural areas. The agriculture sector is among the worst hit by the current crisis and local food production has been severely compromised. This set of maps analyses conflict related damage on agriculture. The map was created by ICARDA for World Bank.

Inset maps based on:

• Thematic layer: ICARDA (2018)
• Administrative boundaries (DIVA-GIS 2018)
• Hydrology, Settlements, Transportation (Natural Earth, 2018)
• Cropland (Global Food Security-support Analysis Data GFSAD, 2015) satellite image backdrop (Sentinel-2 cloudless – https://s2maps.eu by EOX IT Services GmbH – Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2016 & 2017)

All Data sources are complete with no gaps.

The products elaborated in the framework of this project are realized to the best of our ability, optimizing the available data and information. All geographic information has limitations due to scale, resolution, date and interpretation of the original data sources.

The present maps shows the change of the area and/or productivity of actively cultivated or fallow croplands (i.e., sown and harvested), measured with NDVI between 2014 and 2017. Change in NDVI was summarized as average change within hexagons of 1km diameter, and annual area of actively cultivated or fallow agricultural land was summarized as proportions relative to total agricultural land within hexagons of 1km diameter. The analysis of the annual land use was based on Landsat (2014) and Sentinel-2 (2017) images and supervised image classification. The estimated thematic accuracy of this product is 80% or better.
