Study Type
Socio-Economic/Monitoring Survey Series Information
It is the fourth time that this type of survey has been conducted in Rwanda. The previous ones took place in 2006, 2009 and 2012 under the overall lead of the National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda. The results of this CFSVA confirm the findings of the EICV 4 and DHS 2014, namely that since 2006, Rwanda has taken great strides in terms of reducing poverty and malnutrition. Although stunting rates decreased during the past three years, 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.

Abstract
The objective of this Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analysis 2015 (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 'Fourth Integrated Household Living Conditions Survey' (EICV 4) and 'Rwanda Demographic Health Survey 2014/15 (RDHS 2014/'15). 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?
