mVAM Bulletin 5

[NeKSAP]

Produced by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development and World Food Programme

 

Dear NeKSAP members,

We are please to share the mVAM Bulletin # 5 based on the results of NeKSAP food security monitoring survey conducted in Karnali Province and Sudurpaschim Province mountain districts (Bajura, Bajhang and Darchula). Following are the key results:

• Food consumption levels held steady compared to Q3 2018, but were elevated compared to the same time last year overall.
• Market functioned smoothly throughout the surveyed area in terms of price, supply, demand and transportation services.
• Two thirds of households depend on cereal-based production as their main livelihood.
• One third of all households reported recent shocks.

The mVAM household survey conducted in January 2019 follows a panel design using a multi-stage stratified cluster sample, covering three strata—Karnali hills and mountains, and Sudurpaschim mountains. This is is the fifth round, following a September 2018 round and November 2016 baseline survey.

For more information, please do not hesitate to contact us in the contact address mentioned in the bulletin.

With best regards,

Pushpa
