South Sudan - Urban Food Security and Nutrition Assessment in Juba, February 2018

In September 2017, an assessment was conducted in Juba urban areas (including Kator, Juba town, and Munuki) to understand the current food security and nutrition status of the urban population. The survey conducted  in  September-October 2017  included  interviews  with  some  1,371 households.  A two  stage sampling design was employed resulting in the selection of a total of 114 Enumeration Areas (EAs) in the three blocks of Juba urban area. Probability proportional to population size was employed in the first stage to select the EAs while in the second stage, households were selected using systematic random sampling. The survey provided representative estimates of key food security and nutrition indicators for the Juba urban population as well as each of the three blocks within the Juba urban area.
