The Gambia - Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA), December 2016

The overarching objective of the 2016 Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis (CFSVA) is to update the food security and vulnerability situation in The Gambia and also provide comparative data to enable trend analysis over the past five years. The CFSVA aims to provide the government and humanitarian partners with information on the areas and population groups that are most food insecure and malnourished. It also aims to understand why they are food insecure, and how food or other assistance can make a difference in reducing hunger and supporting their livelihoods and if possible, recommend targeting criteria for the different socio-economic groups.
