Study Type
Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey Series Information
It is the third time that this type of survey has been conducted in Rwanda. The previous ones took place in 2006 and 2009 under the overall lead of the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda. The results of this CFSVA and Nutrition survey confirm the findings of the EICV 3 and DHS 2010, namely that since 2006 Rwanda has taken great strides in terms of reducing poverty and malnutrition. However, it also confirms that food access, food consumption and chronic malnutrition are issues that still need to be tackled and that they go hand in hand with poverty.

Notes
The CFSVA and Nutrition Survey 2012 was designed to produce estimates of food security indicators at district level and covered both urban and rural households. This was not the case for the two previous CFSVA and Nutrition Surveys; the 2006 study was conducted only among rural households of Rwanda whereas the 2009 sample excluded Kigali City and only included households with children under five years (which is common practice for nutrition surveys). Hence only households living outside of Kigali province with children under five years can be compared with the 2009 CFSVANS.
Overview
Abstract
The objective of this Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis & Nutrition Survey 2012 (CFSVA and Nutrition Survey 2012) is to measure the extent and depth of food and nutrition insecurity in Rwanda, analyze trends over time, and integrate the findings with those from the recent 'Third Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey' (EICV 3) and 'Rwanda Demographic Health Survey 2010' (DHS 2010). The content of the survey addresses the following questions:
· Who are the people currently facing food insecurity and malnutrition?
· How many are they?
· Where do they live?
· Why are they food insecure and/or malnourished?
· How can food assistance and other interventions make a difference in reducing food insecurity, malnutrition and supporting livelihoods?

Notes
The 2012 CFSVANS looks into social protection issues, food insecurity and malnutrition in Rwanda to formulate recommendations so that interventions to tackle poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition can be adequately targeted and designed (including district plans to eliminate malnutrition) and to help monitor progress in the implementation of the Joint Action Plan to fight malnutrition in Rwanda.
