About Domains

Within the FEWS NET Data Explorer (FDE), humanitarian sector components are represented as Domains. A data domain is a grouping of data that contains a collection of data series. Domains are organized to unify and consolidate data based on metadata consistencies and sector relationships. For example, data on relief needs estimates and actual deliveries are included within the Responses domain.

Choosing a Domain

To get started within the FDE, you must first choose one of the following domains from the navigation menu.

Some domains have limited visibility and may not be included in your view.

You can click on any domain name below to learn more about the domain.
