CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENT OF FOOD SECURITY AND VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS AMONG FARMERS IN GISAGARA, KARONGI AND NGORORERO .
1. The objective of the Assessment
The main objective of this Assessment was to ensure inclusive climate action and enhance community resilience for the farmer groups of Gisagara, Ngororero and Karongi in a bid to identify their specific needs and constraints. The assessment aim was to provide actionable insights that can inform the design and implementation of effective interventions to support these groups and enhance their resilience to climate change. The assignment examined the key elements of policy that are crucial to creating an enabling environment for unlocking farmers vulnerability to climate change effects and Food insecurity. The analysis here has provide evidence-based information on existing situation that pertains in the study districts and Sectors. It has provided evidence-based recommendations on possible solutions to unlock identified bottlenecks across different areas.
2. Study area
Evaluating food security and vulnerability involves a comprehensive approach that includes identifying key indicators, collecting data, and analyzing the results to understand the food security status of a population. Below, I outline the steps and indicators for assessing both food security and vulnerability. The following Key Indicators will be considered to assess the food security and vulnerability of the concerned community: crop yield, livestock numbers; food imports and exports; food stocks; proportion of income spent on food; rates of stunting, wasting, and underweight; number of different food groups consumed; fluctuations in food prices and use of coping mechanisms (e.g., skipping meals, selling assets)
