Food and Nutrition Security monitoring is a tool that is used to detect and track changes in people's food security and nutrition situations over time and space. It can also be used for early warning in order to alert the government and its partners when a situation deteriorates in order to ensure that assistance can be provided in a timely and appropriate manner. Food and nutrition security monitoring information, in many instances, trigger early responses averting disastrous outcomes while at the same time fulfilling the needs of programmes that aim at building resilience of the affected communities.
