JOINT MISSION OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE FOOD AND NUTRITIONAL SITUATION OF HOUSEHOLDS

The overall objective of the mission is to assess the evolution of the current food and nutritional situation of households throughout the country with a view to planning the various operations.
This specifically involves collecting information with a view to evaluating:

• household food availability (level of farmers and traders’ stocks, sources of market supply), livestock (water resources, pasture and SPAI) and prospects for the coming months;
• the accessibility of populations to foodstuffs and animal feed (level and trend of price changes, sources of household income);
• the nutritional status of populations, particularly that of children under 5;
• the number of vulnerable households;
• the adaptation capacities of populations in risk areas (livelihood and survival strategies);
• the vulnerability of populations in the most affected areas and the need for intervention;
• movement of livestock (national and cross-border transhumance);
• the food and health situation of livestock and adaptation strategies of pastoral households;
• interventions by partners and synergy of action between the various stakeholders;
• the specific recovery needs and actions possible for pastoral households;
• impacts of state interventions already carried out or not in areas at risk of food insecurity;
• food outlook.

A mission report is being finalized and will be available on the site at the appropriate time.
