1 Fighting Fighting Hunger Hunger Worldwide Worldwide WFP in Bangladesh 2011 in Review West Darfur, Sudan Food Security Monitoring, ruary
2 FEBRUARY Executive Summary The overall food security situation deteriorated for households in surveyed IDP camps between ember and ruary. Surveyed households in resident communities experienced a similar deterioration, while the sampled households in Mixed communities improved. A Description of the Sample Data collection was carried out in collaboration with the West Darfur State Ministry of Agriculture (SMoA). The data Thirty-nine percent of surveyed households in IDP collection of the ruary round of the communities were food insecure, compared to 27 percent of food security monitoring was delayed due households in Residents and Mixed communities. to operational challenges (it took place in March and April ). This time of the Household food consumption improved moderately among year was the beginning of the lean season. surveyed households in IDP communities and Mixed A total of 618 households from 25 communities from ember to ruary. locations in West Darfur were Surveyed households in Resident communities experienced interviewed. a moderate deterioration over the same period. Approximately 60 percent of households in Resident and Mixed communities exhibited acceptable food consumption, while the corresponding percentage was slightly lower for IDPs (56 percent). The cost of the local food basket (LFB) was considerably lower in ruary (SDG 4.94/person/day) compared to ember (SDG 6.51/person/day). Despite the recent price decrease, the average sorghum prices in Geneina market were slightly higher than the same period last year, and more than 75 percent higher than the five-year average. Sorghum prices had decreased steadily since their peak in July. The decrease of the cost of the LFB did not result in improving purchasing power. In fact, among sampled households in IDP and Resident communities, purchasing power had deteriorated steadily from ember to ruary. Mixed communities also saw their purchasing power deteriorate over this period, but the decline stabilized and a minor improvement was seen from ember to ruary. Purchasing power was similar for the three community types, with approximately 80 percent of households being unable to afford the local food basket. Crop production, wage labour and small business were the main livelihoods among the surveyed households. No major changes was seen in the livelihood patterns of the population between ember and ruary, except that among IDP communities the proportion of households engaged in small business decreased and the proportion of households engaged in wage labour increased. The sex of the head of the household continued to be an important predictor of food security status: 50 percent of the male headed households were food secure compared to only 34 percent among female headed households.

3 FEBRUARY Livelihoods Crop production continued to be the predominant livelihood in Resident and Mixed communities, constituting the most important livelihood for 46 and 32 percent of households, respectively. Crop production was still only of minor importance to IDP communities despite the prolonged period of displacement for most of this population. Not having access to farming lands was the leading factor behind IDPs being less likely to engage in crop production. Rather, IDPs tended to rely on wage labour and small business to a higher degree than Residents and Mixed communities.

Following a normal seasonal trend, the sorghum prices decreased from SDG 8 (per kora, or 3.5 kg) in ember to SDG 7.2 in ruary, mainly because of increased supply in the market as a result of the good harvest. The decreasing trend in prices also extended to other foods as discussed in the next chapter. Page 3
4 SDG/3 KG FEBRUARY Sorghum price in Geneina (3 week moving average) Jan Mar Apr Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Dec Purchasing Power 5 year average year_ year The price of a local food basket was used as a benchmark against which to compare household income, for determining the level of purchasing power. The price of the local food basket (LFB) in ruary SDG 4.94 (per person/day) was considerably lower than in ember (SDG 6.51). The decline in the price of the LFB may have been caused by a decrease in demand, due to a decrease in the level of income. The decrease in the cost of the LFB did not result in a strengthening of purchasing power, as incomes decreased. As indicated in the chart below, more than three quarters of households, across the community types, cannot afford the cost of one LFB. Purchasing power was found to be similar across the three community types. The Local Food Basket (LFB) The LFB consisted of the following food items: cereals (sorghum), milk, dry vegetables, cooking oil, goat meat, cow meat, onions and sugar. The amount of each food item was computed so as to minimize the cost of the basket, while meeting the minimum requirements of 2,100 kilocalories per person per day. Households were classified as having poor purchasing power (households that could not afford the cost of one LFB), borderline purchasing power (households that could afford between one and two baskets) and acceptable purchasing power (households that could afford more than two baskets).

In Mixed communities, 75 percent of male headed households was below the 1 LFB line, compared to 89 percent among female headed households. Household Expenditure The largest components of household total monthly food expenditure were meat (15 percent of total monthly household expenditures), dry vegetables (14 percent), sugar (13 percent), oil (12 percent) and cereals (9 percent). Spending three quarters of the total expenditure on food left households with less expenditure on non-food items which reduced their economic access to health care (from 10 percent of total expenditure in ember to 8 percent in ruary ) and education (from 5 to 2 percent).

6 FEBRUARY The expenditure on food as a percentage of total monthly expenditure was used as a proxy indicator of household economic stress: The higher a household s the share of food expenditure, the greater the likelihood of increased vulnerability to price and income shocks. A commonly used threshold for the share of food expenditure (above 65 percent) were used to identify households more exposed to economic vulnerability. The proportion of vulnerable IDP and Resident households increased substantially, to the point where 92 percent of IDP household spend more than 65 percent of their total expenditure on food. Surveyed households in Resident and Mixed communities exhibited a moderately lower level of stress, compared to IDPs, as a result of better access to more diversified income sources. Share of monthly expenditure for food 10 78% 92% 56% 74% 89% 72% More than 65% of expenditure 21% 15% 16% 3 26% 3 Household Food Consumption Household food consumption improved moderately among surveyed households in IDP communities and Mixed communities from The Food Consumption Score (FCS) ember to ruary. The Food consumption data was collected and analyzed using standard WFP methodology: the variety and frequency of proportion of households with acceptable food different foods consumed over a 7-day recall period was consumption increased from 48 to 65 percent recorded to calculate a weighted food consumption score among IDPs during this period, and from 53 to (FCS). Weights were based on the nutritional density of the 62 percent among Mixed communities. The improvement could be attributed to the decreased cost of food indicated in the foods. Using standard threshold, households were classified as having either poor, borderline or acceptable food consumption. discussion of the purchasing power, above. Surveyed households in Resident communities experienced a moderate deterioration over the same period. As in the previous round of monitoring, surveyed IDPs had worse food consumption than Residents and Mixed communities: Approximately 60 percent of households in Resident and Mixed communities were classified as having acceptable food consumption, while the corresponding percentage was slightly lower for IDPs (56 percent).

The difference in the prevalence of acceptable food consumption between male and female headed households was 10, 18 and 23 percentage points for households in IDP, Resident and Mixed communities, respectively. Perceived Food Access Problems Households were asked if in the last seven days prior to the interview they experienced a situation where they did not have enough food (or money to buy food). If they experienced such situations, they were asked what strategies they employed to cope with their situation. The percentage of households who reported experiencing food access problems increased for households in the Resident category from 14 to 22 percent but remained largely unchanged for IDPs and Mixed communities compared to ember. Surprisingly, IDPs were the least likely to report food access problems, possibly as a result of the prolonged displacement normalizing a relatively food insecure situation. 10 Coping strategy 3% 3% 7% 4% 1% 4% 1% 3% 3% 14% 7% 8% 6% 5% 5% 3% 4% 8% 7% 4% 13% 1% 6% 6% 2% 6% 6% 12% 2 11% 16% 12% 11% 2 71% 63% 88% 88% 88% 85% 86% 78% 86% 73% 77% High coping Medium coping Low coping No food access problem Page 7
8 FEBRUARY Food Security The overall food security situation deteriorated for households in IDP camps from ember to ruary, mainly characterized by the expansion of the borderline category at the expense of food secure category; the proportion households classified as food secure shrank by 11 percentage points. More than one third of IDPs were considered food insecure. Food security deteriorated also for the Resident communities to the point that 27 percent of households were found to be food insecure. After an improvement in food security since ember, Mixed communities were the most food security community type, with 27 percent of households being food secure. Food security 10 59% 52% 3 28% 38% 12% 1 29% 42% 4 39% 19% 57% 38% 35% 34% 19% 52% 48% 49% 55% 33% 42% 5% 17% 17% 27% 15% 24% 34% 18% 27% 41% 46% 4 27% Food Secure Borderline Food Insecure Gender Analysis The sex of the head of the household continued to be an important predictor of food security status: male headed households tended to be more food secure than female headed households, as 50 percent of the male headed households were food secure compared to 34 percent of the female headed households. The difference between the two groups was especially pronounced in Resident and Mixed communities where the spread was 12 and 24 percentage points, respectively. Page 8
9 FEBRUARY Food security, by gender of households heads 10 18% 21% 2 14% 44% 35% 56% 34% 46% 1 46% 38% 44% 36% 44% 24% 2 Male Female Male Female Male Female IDPs Resident Mixed Food insecure Borderline Food secure Additionally, the higher the educational level of the head of the household, the more food secure the household tended to be. The prevalence of food security was 37 among households whose heads were illiterate, compared to 43 percent for those that had completed primary education, and 57 percent among those that had completed secondary education. Food security was also linked to household assets ownership: It was found that 53 percent of households who owned mobile phones were food secure compared to only 27 percent of those who did not own one. Households with few (1-3) members were found to be more food secure than larger households (4 and above). Child Nutrition The mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) was measured on 694 children aged 6 59 months and classified as very low (below 115 mm, a proxy indicator for severe acute malnutrition), moderately low (between 115 and 125mm, a proxy indicator for moderate acute malnutrition) and normal (above 125 mm). Children in IDP households had better MUAC measurements compared to the previous two FSMS rounds and to other community groups: the prevalence of normal MUAC had increased from ember to in ruary, from 85 to 93 percent. The trend was the reverse for Mixed and Resident communities. No statistical relationship was found between the results of MUAC measurement and household food security, nor with household food consumption score. The sample size for Residents was too small to be reported on for ruary. Page 9
