DIEM – Data in Emergencies Information System

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations established the Data in Emergencies (DIEM) Information System in June 2020. DIEM is comprised of two pillars – DIEM-Monitoring and DIEM-Impact – with a third pillar, DIEM-Risk, expected in 2023. DIEM-Monitoring collects, analyses and disseminates data on shocks and livelihoods in countries prone to multiple shocks. DIEM-Monitoring aims to inform decision-making by providing regularly updated information on how different shocks are affecting the livelihoods and food security of agricultural populations. DIEM-Impact conducts remote sensing, secondary data review, household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions and crowdsourcing surveys. The assessments provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods and provide an estimate of damage and losses to the agriculture sector. This briefing note introduces the DIEM Information System and its capabilities.
