Comprehensive Food Security Survey 2009
Study Type
Comprehensive Food Security & Vulnerability Analysis Series Information
The CFSVA process generates a document that describes the food security status of various segments of a population over a various parts of a country or region, analyses the underlying causes of vulnerability, and recommends appropriate interventions to deal with the problems. CFSVAs are undertaken in all crisis-prone food insecure countries. The indicators being collected and reported determine the shelf life of CFSVAs. In most situations, CFSVA findings are valid for three to five years, unless there are drastic food security changes in the meantime.

Abstract
The primary objective of the Comprehensive Food Security Survey in Yemen is to provide much needed, updated baseline information on the food security and vulnerability situation of the population and its causes at the national (urban and rural), governorate and AEZ levels. Its findings will help formulate appropriate and feasible responses for WFP and its partners, such as the Government, other United Nations agencies and NGOs, and will facilitate the targeting of the most vulnerable and food-insecure people in the country. The survey is to serve as a tool with potential for guiding Yemen’s development framework, including the five-year development plan, and informing the national food security strategy and the country’s 2010 Humanitarian Response Plan.
Specific objectives are as follows:
• Identify the food-insecure and vulnerable households;
• Estimate how many people are currently food-insecure at the national and sub-national levels;
• Determine where the food-insecure and vulnerable people live;
• Identify the underlying causes and risk factors of food insecurity and malnutrition;
• Identify the most appropriate response options to address food insecurity and targeting criteria;
• Inform Yemen's national food security strategy and feed into the five-year development plan (DPPR 2011-2015).
