Analyzing Food Security Responses: KCal Mapping for Effective Aid Distribution

Since September 2011, the Food Access and Livelihoods (FAC) and Agriculture & Livestock (A&L) clusters have reported food access responses in terms of estimated kilocalories (KCal) delivered. This analysis utilized the NutVal 2006 guidelines for calculating ration values and approximated cash and voucher response values. The data revealed significant daily KCal gaps across regions, prompting the generation of a KCal mapping system to optimize aid distribution based on needs. The mapping highlights disparities, providing a visual representation of food security issues to inform humanitarian interventions effectively.

  1. Food Security ClusterKcal Map

  2. Background • From September 2011, the FAC and A&L clusters commonly reported their food access responses based on the estimated number of KCals each response provided. • Food responses in KCals were estimated based on the daily number of KCals distributed using the NutVal 2006 - General Ration Planning and Calculation Sheet • Cash and voucher responses were approximated using a logarithm

  3. Voucher and Cash Estimations • As part of the completion of the FAC and A&L clusters 3Ws members indicated the approximate ration in kgs each voucher was to purchase • Using NutVal 2006, the voucher basket converted into KCals and divided by the value of the voucher to come to a ratio of KCals to USD • This was then plotted on a x-y axis for 11 responses by FAC and A&L members and a natural log (equation of the line was derived)

  4. Application • Based on the equation of the line, the number of cents per person per day was then transformed into KCals using the equation

  5. Calculating KCals Required • Based on the disaggregated FSNAU Population in Crisis by region: • AFLC had a 50% daily KCal gap • HE had a 75% daily KCal gap • Famine/IDP had a 100% KCal gap • Applying this to the number of people by food security classification and a daily requirement of 2100 KCal led to an estimated number of KCals per region per day.

  6. Mapping • Using the estimated number of KCals per day provided by the FAC and A&L Clusters and dividing this by the required KCals per day. • A monthly Map was generated
