This study is intended to further inform sub-national food aid targeting, investigate and verify suspected crises in local areas as well as monitor and assess the evolution of food security conditions over time. It broadens the understanding of specific regional food security issues such as HIV/AIDS links, government policies, commercial sector capabilities and performance and how this relates to emergency food needs. In addition, it also strengthens the national capacity to undertake and utilize such assessments.
