Angola - WFP/FAO Joint Rapid Food Security and Agriculture Assessment Report: Dundo and Lovua, Lunda Norte, June 2017

A rapid qualitative emergency food security and agriculture mission was undertaken jointly by WFP and FAO, from May 14 to 28, in two refugee reception centers in Dundo – Kakanda and Mussungue. The mission also visited the prospective resettlement area in Lovua municipality. The primary objective of the joint mission was to (i) determine the profile of the refugee population requiring assistance; (ii) determine their food habits; (iii) assess the current food security situation; and (iv) assess the extent to which the site selected for permanent camp settlement can sustain agricultural based livelihood systems for the incoming refugee population. The data for this assessment was gathered primarily from focus groups and key informant interviews, complemented with a limited set of secondary data available at institutional level.
