A state-level food security assessment was carried out in October 2010, partly to feed into the 2010 Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) planned for November and December, but also to assist WFP and other stakeholders in determining the level of need for humanitarian assistance in 2011. The assessment was a joint undertaking by HAC, State Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture.
The assessment was originally published by the Overseas Development Institute.
