DESCRIPTION:Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs)\, so-called ‘hidden-hunger
 ’\, can have serious ramifications for the health of individuals affecte
 d and the economy of the country in which they live. MNDs are a global pro
 blem but disproportionately affect populations in low-income countries. Wo
 rk to alleviate these deficiencies aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Deve
 lopment Goals (SDG)\, especially SDG2 – access to adequate safe and nutr
 itious food. Data which can support the understanding of the scale and loc
 ation of these deficiencies can be fragmented in their availability and ac
 cessibility\, creating a barrier to their use in planning interventions by
  stakeholders in the very nations where the impacts of MNDs are most sever
 e.   \n\nThe Micronutrient Action Policy Support (MAPS) tool is a web-host
 ed open access platform providing a unique enabling environment for the wi
 der agriculture-nutrition community and beyond which allows users to view 
 and explore MND risks at various spatial and temporal scales. The tool can
  provide users with dietary micronutrient supply estimates of all nations 
 in sub Saharan Africa using national-scale and subnational-scale data. Pre
 processing steps to clean these data in R language are made available thro
 ugh the open github repository\, so that any user can replicate the data u
 sed in the tool.  \n\nPriorities for the data and functionality have been 
 co-designed with key users from project proposal stage. Stakeholder feedba
 ck is used in continued iteration as richer content\, supporting material\
 , and functionality is planned\, developed and released. \n\nThe platform 
 is built on open-source technologies utilising Postgres and PostGIS to sto
 re\, combine and interrogate a range of heterogeneous datasets to calculat
 e micronutrient supply estimates\, node.js for data APIs and web map servi
 ces using Geoserver.  Further data processing is conducted using R\, with 
 the front-end interface utilising Angular\, leaflet.js and chart.js.  Meta
 data is managed and served via Geonetwork.  The code for the platform\, as
  well as data processing scripts\, methods and processes are all open sour
 ce at https://github.com/micronutrientsupport. \n\nThis talk will provide 
 an overview of the platform along with the datasets and open-source techno
 logies that underpin its functionality\, and the UX approaches taken to en
 sure that this tool meets the currently unmet needs of priority users.  \n
