Data state
Advance Guatemala keeps the data point as the source published it: it does not compare it with other sources or apply the tolerance bands it uses for the site's verified figures.

Dimensions

How the source classifies its series, with the most frequent values first.

  • Department

    • Huehuetenango
    • San Marcos
    • Alta Verapaz
    • Quiché
    • Quetzaltenango
    • Suchitepéquez
    • Sololá
    • Petén

Notes

Each table keeps its original source's terms and methods. The baseline population is a projection and many needs figures are estimates; the IPC phases include projections. This API's food prices were not included because they are the same as in the WFP dataset. Displacement (IOM) and conflict events (ACLED) are not published under their licences. Two funding amounts are dated 2027 and 2028, as the source publishes them. IOM's displacement data and ACLED's conflict events are left out: their licences do not allow republishing them.
