Summary
Between 23 November and 31 December 2016 the World Food Programme (WFP), in support of the National Disaster Centre (NDC), conducted a follow-up mobile survey to assess the food security and livelihood situation in PNG nearly a year following the initial El Niño drought impact assessment in January/February 2016. The food security situation, as calculated during the January/February 2016 assessment, has improved substantially during the intervening months between surveys. The proportion of LLGs wherein respondents reported extreme shortages of food, hunger, and consumption of famine foods was also lower during the follow-up survey. However, pockets of food insecurity continue to exist and the Government and stakeholders are encouraged to continue to routinely monitor the situation in order to support policy design and future response activities.
