| 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. |
