World Food Programme Fighting Hunger Worldwide

WFP carried out a nationwide Comprehensive Food Security Survey (CFSS) in November and December of 2011. The survey aimed to update statistics on food insecure households, identify the underlying causes of food insecurity, and guide WFP’s targeting and humanitarian response in Yemen. The CFSS shows that 10 million Yemenis, 44.5% of the population, are food insecure, among other findings.

WFP carried out a nationwide comprehensive food security survey (CFSS) between September 2009 and January 2010 with the aim to guide WFP’s future interventions in 2010/11, inform Yemen’s Humanitarian Response Plan 2010 and provide a potential basis for improved geographic and socioeconomic targeting of the most food-insecure persons.
