The FSVA includes 13 indicators based on a review of data availability at the district level and their ability to measure various aspects of food and nutrition security. The FSVA divides these indicators into two sets: chronic food and nutrition insecurity and transitory food insecurity. Within chronic, indicators measure food availability, food access, and food utilization. The transitory indicators describe climatic and environmental factors that affect food insecurity from an availability and access perspective. The nine indicators that relate to chronic food insecurity are combined into a single composite indicator to describe the overall district food security classification.
