Sumario:This dataset integrates and standardizes multiple cross-sectional household food security surveys conducted twice a year to support the Cadre Harmonisé process in West Africa. The surveys are carried out in two waves each year: First wave: Conducted before the start of the lean season (around February-March) Second wave: Conducted at the end of the lean season or beginning of the harvesting period (around September-October) These large-scale surveys are generally representative at the second-tier administrative level and capture data on the access and stability dimensions of food security. Key indicators include: Food Consumption Score (FCS); Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS); Coping behaviors. Additionally, this dataset is further augmented with information on several covariate shocks that took place in each second-level administrative area in the period between two subsequent surveys. The different covariate shocks added to the dataset relate to five shock domains: Conflict and political violence; Food price anomalies; Long-term climate hazards; Rainy season performance; Extreme weather events. This comprehensive dataset provides valuable insights into food security and household coping strategies in Burkina Faso, enriched with data on various shocks impacting food security.
