The WFP Annual Food Security Outcome Monitoring Survey (FSOM) allows WFP to evaluate both short- and long-term changes in household food security resulting from its programme interventions, such as direct assistance, improved social protection systems, and disaster risk management. It also assesses households’ economic vulnerability and their ability to cope with food insecurity and climate change related issues. This outlook is based on findings from a study conducted in December 2024 in the WFP project impact areas, utilizing primary data collected through a household survey and focus group discussions. FSOM is a specific instrument that uses two-fold approach to collect information from both project participants and non-participants, allowing for a thorough comparison of project interventions while assessing the impact on targeted population groups.
