  • Average altitude in Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Uganda.

  • The altitude in (m) refers to median elevation at 5 arc-min while the slope class dataset refers to the median terrain slope class. Both datasets derived from a 3 arc-sec sub-grid of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM, http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/). These datasets have been used to complement the survey data and included in the "Climate change predictions in Sub-Saharan Africa: impacts and adaptations (ClimAfrica)" project, Work Package 5 (WP5). More information on ClimAfrica project is provided in the Supplemental Information section of this metadata. This study in WP5 aimed to identify, locate and characterize groups that are vulnerable for climate change conditions in two country clusters; one in West Africa (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Togo) and one in East Africa (Sudan, South Sudan and Uganda). Data used for the study include the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) , the Multi Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) and the Afrobarometer surveys for the socio-economic variables and grid level data on agro-ecological and climatic conditions.
