The CSI is an indicator of household food security that is relatively simple and quick to use, straightfoward to understand and correlates well with more complex measures of food security. -
MeetingFood security and nutrition information systems in crisis-prone countries

No results found.Information on nutrition provides us with one of the few means of evaluating the overall well-being of the population and the extent to which they have been affected by a particular crisis. Using the broader definitions of food security, information on nutrition prompts an analysis that goes beyong the issue of food availability and makes close interaction among sectors inevitable and possible. Understanding information on nutrition supports us in evaluating our concept of ‘normal’ food security and allows us to monitor the impact of crises as well as the interventions designed to address them. This paper examines the nutrition information systems in Somalia, Sierra Leone, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Afghanistan as well as Kenya. Although the case studies emphasize the nutrition component of information systems, these are examined in the context of food security and other sectoral information systems, these are examined in the context of the food security and other sectoral information syste ms existing in each country. Recognizing that the six countries studied are at the various stages and levels of crisis, a number of similarities were seen and lessons drawn from their experiences. -
