In January 2016, WFP Nigeria started remote phone-based data collection and food security monitoring using the mobile Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (mVAM) approach to conduct household surveys and key informant/trader surveys. Household survey respondents are contacted bi-annually via live calls and are asked to respond to a short series of questions on household food consumption, coping, and food prices. An open-ended question is designed to assess the food security situation in their community. Traders and key informants are asked about market conditions including availability, prices, activity levels, and challenges.
