Food Security Indicators and Framework
for Use in the Monitoring and Evaluation of Food Aid Programs (1999)The
purpose of this handbook was to assist in the identification of food security indicators
to be used in the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of Title II food aid
programs. The handbook outlines
a systematic process by which indicators can be identified in a context-specific
fashion. Section 2 outlines a conceptual framework for understanding food security issues
in a particular socioeconomic context.
Section 3 provides
a common set of concepts and terms, as well as different approaches to designing
M&E systems.
Section 4 defines and discusses specific indicators to be collected and used. Some food security indicators are
too difficult or expensive to measure directly, in which case some type of indicator
proxy could be used.
