This is the user guide of the The Global Geo-Informatics Options by Context (GeOC) tool. The Global Geo-informatics Context and Options (GeCO) is a new web-based GIS tool that enables its users to define, monitor, assess and co-create knowledge and learning on relevant Sustainable Land Management (SLM) options that match the social-ecological context at global, regional and national scales.

This presentation illustrated the data domains of the GeOC tool.

Given the dearth of data on this topic, the WFP  study sought to answer some of the following questions: What is it that compels people to leave their homes?
