Food security classification and assistance targeting
Computing the Food Consumption Score, Household Hunger Scale and reduced Coping Strategy Index from raw components, then deciding which households a limited cash caseload should reach — and defending the threshold choice that decides it.
Four instruments, the same households
| Instrument | Households | Prevalence |
|---|---|---|
| Poor food consumption | 144 | 7.4% |
| Moderate or severe hunger | 839 | 42.9% |
| Crisis coping or worse | 943 | 48.2% |
| High coping index | 997 | 51.0% |

Why this exists
- Audience
- Food security cluster and the cash working group
- The decision it informs
- Which households enter the cash assistance caseload, and on what stated criteria.
How these numbers are produced
Every number on this page is computed from the committed dataset file named below by scripts/export/build-project-dashboards.mjs. Nothing is typed by hand and the page contains no script, no external request and no generation date, so rebuilding it on unchanged data produces an identical file.

What this page does not show
None of these prevalences is an IPC classification, which requires convergence of evidence and a technical consensus. The four figures do not average: they are on different scales.
