Vulnerability Analysis & Mapping (VAM) Food Security Sector Meeting 28 August 2019
Outline • Food Security Assessments & Monitoring • Major indicators • Better ways of working with FSS partners
Role of VAM • To provide evidence-based analysis to inform WFP program designs (both in emergency and development contexts) to address problems of food insecurity and vulnerability • To provide additional information and analytical support as needed during emergency and development program implementation and evaluation phases.
Type of assessments • Food Security Assessments (emergency and re-assessments)- e.g. REVA • JAM- WFP/UNHCR Joint Assessment Mission • Market Assessments (underway) • CFSAM- FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission • SISMOID – Shock Impact Simulation Model
Purpose of REVA Done annually to: • Assess the severity of food insecurity and socio-economic vulnerability from an essential needs’ perspective among displaced populations and host communities; • Highlight the most food insecure and vulnerable groups; • Provide recommendations to address priority needs
Purpose of JAM Done every two years, by UNHCR/WFP, To assess refugees’ food and non-food needs, and how adequately these needs are being addressed.
Purpose of JAM Provide strategic directions for joint programming to: • Enhance the refugee populations’ capacities to meet their food and other basic needs; • Strengthen their livelihoods and increase their self-reliance; • Ensure gender and protection considerations are prioritized.
Indicators assessed (1) • Livelihood patterns (income and income sources) • Food and non-food expenditure • Economic capacity to meet essential needs (actual expenditures against the MEB) • Level of indebtedness • Access to education, improved water sources, improved sanitation facilities • Access to health services • Shocks and coping strategies • External assistance
Indicators assessed (2) • Shelter conditions and cooking fuel/lighting • Food consumption score • Food consumption score nutrition • Food sources • Food-related coping strategies • Livelihood coping strategies • Protection concerns • Nutrition: GAM/stunting of children under 5 • Relevant demographic data
Type of analysis (1) • Risk analysis • What could happen, where, to whom? • Food economy analysis • Household food production • Household income opportunities • Wealth • Coping mechanisms • Vulnerability analysis • Who is chronically food insecure? • Who is vulnerable to food insecurity in the future • Where, why, how many? • Early Warning • What can effect household food security? • How can we know when it is coming?
Type of analysis (2) • Emergency Assessment and targeting • Who is vulnerable as a result of a specific shock • Where, how many are they? • How do we best reach them (program design and targeting)? • Contingency Planning • What can we do to prevent food insecurity (prevention) • What can we do to prepare for the inevitable (disaster preparedness) • What can we do to mitigate the impact of a disaster (disaster mitigation) • Monitoring and Evaluation • Are we doing what we planned to do? (Monitoring) • Was our plan the right plan? Did we have an impact? (Evaluation)
Consolidated Approach to Reporting Indicators (CARI) for Food Security CARI Console
Severity scale: socio-economic (examples) Socio-economic vulnerability (including the value of food assistance) Socio-economic vulnerability (excluding the estimated value of food assistance)

Working with FSS partners (?) In groups (and feedback to plenary)- • Identify possible ways in which VAM can support activities of the partners/focal points? • What additional information/data/analysis would you need to support your work?
