Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA)

For content on Emergency Food Security Assessments. An EFSA analyses the impact of a crisis on the food security of households and communities. An EFSA is conducted when a natural disaster, a conflict or an economic shock causes food insecurity due, for instance, to population displacements. An assessment can be triggered by a sudden event such as an earthquake or a flood or by a slow onset crisis, for example a progressive deterioration of the economic situation.
