Description: | Change in household capacity to meet their survival threshold This indicator uses HEA/HES approach to determine households’ survival threshold (food needs), and population ability to meet their food needs, using their coping strategies or other strategies, as per the baseline.
Comment: This indicator is more related to Food Security sector, but it is included because supporting household food requirements contributes to protecting their livelihoods. Definitions:

Data source: | Both secondary and primary data collection can be used according to context.
In slow-onset emergency, (if possible) frequency should be higher (on weekly, monthly basis) to ensure appropriateness of assistance.
Unit of Measurement: Household (most typical). If percentage:

Examples: |
X% of target households (from those Y% are women-headed) in Gambella province meet their survival threshold by the sixth month of the programme. X% of target households (from those Y% are refugees) in Gambella province have enough cash to meet their survival threshold by the sixth month of the programme. |
Measure Notes: | Needs/gap analysis can be made through various assessment methodologies. If a valid HEA / HES analysis is possible, this should be used as a starting point. The coverage of energetic needs (2,100 kcal) is the basis of the measurement for this indicator. In emergency context food security is often measured through proxy indicators for which data collection and analysis is relatively easy. Recommended are HDDS/IDDS combined with CSI or one can use a FCS/CSI, in particular in areas where WFP has longitudinal food security data measured through the FCS. Consider seasonal calendar and market price variations throughout the year to determine when to measure the indicator. |
