Household income and expenditure surveys (HIES) or Household budget surveys (HBS) collect data relevant to food insecurity and poverty. The data collected are used to assess and monitor food security by determining:

- who the food insecure are;
- where they are located; and
- why they are food insecure.

The resulting analysis can be used for better targeted food policies and interventions, assessing the impact of specific policies and measuring progress towards targets for reducing food insecurity and poverty.

This training aims at building national capacity for analyzing data from the HIES/HBS related to food insecurity and poverty.

Household budget survey experts from National statistics centres (NSC) who have skills in statistical analysis and data management software and who will be responsible for statistical data analysis and preparing the analysis report.
