Programme Activities

Building on the achievements of Phase I, the Programme will continue strengthening national capacity in the collection, analysis and dissemination of food security information necessary for policy formulation. Activities include:

	supporting district level capacity for food security information generation, analysis, reporting and utilization for response in an early warning context;
	supporting the Data and Information Sub-committee of Kenya (DISK) in establishing and managing a core food security information and analysis unit within the Office of the President;
	providing technical assistance in the analysis of food security and food consumption data collected from the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey (KIHBS);
	developing simple tools for monitoring food access and consumption at the household level for use in national and sub-national surveys and monitoring exercises; and
	taking stock of lessons learned in three countries (Kenya, Somalia and Mozambique) which received support from FAO in establishing their food security information systems.
