Food Insecurity
and Vulnerability Information and Mapping Systems (FIVIMS)
|
The EC-FAO Food Security Programme supports
country work on food insecurity and vulnerability information
and mapping systems (FIVIMS), in particular in countries
suffering from chronic food insecurity and poverty.
The Programme also supports the liaison functions of the
Secretariat of the Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG) on
FIVIMS based at FAO. Under the IAWG-FIVIMS, best practices
on food security information systems work have been discussed
and promoted. In this context, the FIVIMS Secretariat has
contributed to the development of the distance learning
curriculum on food security information for action.
