About the tool Responsible

World Food Programme (WFP) – VAM Unit (Vulnerability Analysis & Mapping)

PRISM
What problems does it solve?

WFP PRISM Frontend solves the problem of visualizing complex data and impact projections on a configurable map, making it easier for public officials and organizations to make informed decisions about food security and risk management in Latin America and the Caribbean.

How does the tool work?

WFP PRISM Frontend is a web interface that allows you to visualize data and impact projections on a configurable map. It loads administrative boundaries and vector data, displays WMS layers and points with symbology, and presents CSV tables. The tool is adaptable to different countries using environment variables.

Open standards

The PRISM Frontend tool uses open standards such as GeoJSON for uploading administrative boundaries and JSON for vector data. It also supports WMS layers from Geoserver or Open Data Cube, allowing for date selection. These standards facilitate interoperability and access to geospatial data across government platforms and organizations.
