Liberia - FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment, December 2014

FAO and WFP, in collaboration with the Government and other partners have been actively carrying out field level rapid assessments to assess the impact of the EVD crisis on food production, supply situation and the overall food security primarily through rapid assessment. In addition, FAO/GIEWS has developed a Disease Impact on Agriculture – Simulation (DIAS) Model to provide estimates of the impact of EVD on crop production, while WFP has developed a framework to estimate the current and future number of food insecure people due to EVD and a light version of a shock impact simulation model (SISMod-Light). The main objective of the this report is to provide the synthesis of the results based on the models and the rapid assessments and other relevant sources of information on 2014 food production, and the analysis of market dynamics and household food security for the coming marketing year 2015.
