    Inter Agency Social Protection Assessment (ISPA) tool on Food Security and Nutrition 2020
    Also available in:
    This Inter-Agency Social Protection Assessment (ISPA) tool on Food Security and Nutrition (FSN ISPA) provides a framework of analysis to assess how social assistance and programmes can achieve a greater positive impact on food security and nutrition (FSN) at country level. This tool belongs to the set of programme level ISPA tools and focuses on identifying opportunities to strengthen coherence and improve the results of social assistance programmes for FSN. The FSN ISPA tool is a broadly designed proposed set of principles, steps and instruments for country adaptation that must be tailored to each country context and programme under review. It is not intended to be used for cross-country comparisons, but rather aims to analyse the given programme(s) of focus and country context (including FSN and other conditions), to identify where and how FSN impacts may be enhanced. ISPA tools are the result of a multi-agency initiative that aims to put forth a unified set of definitions, assessment tools, and outcome metrics to provide systematic information for a country to assess its social protection system, schemes, programmes, and implementation arrangements.
