Venezuela Food Security Assessment

The World Food Programme (WFP) was invited by the Government of Venezuela to conduct a Food Security Assessment (FSA) to estimate the needs and vulnerabilities of Venezuelan households. WFP had full independence to design and implement the assessment, and had access countrywide allowing the collection of household-level data without impediment.

The Venezuela FSA follows the standard WFP Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA) methodology and the Consolidated Approach to Reporting Indicators of Food Security (CARI). The assessment is based on the analysis of primary data collected at household level and at community level.

At the end of the assessment, 8,375 valid questionnaires were collected, ensuring statistical representativity at state level.
