Session 3.2.
Situation Analysis Step 3
Profiling
Households at Risk
Advanced EFSA Learning Programme
Learning Objectives
After this session, participants should be able to:
 Identify the aims of and reasons for profiling the
food insecure and those at risk
 Explain the methodology of profiling an affected
population – through crossing with key population
characteristics, and of the Conceptual framework

Advanced EFSA Learning Programme
Where are we?
EFSA Process
Adapt conceptual framework & objectives
Prepare analysis plan: indicators, data, sources

Advanced EFSA Learning Programme
Why?
Why do we profile food (in)secure HHs?

Describe livelihood assets, strategies and
outcomes of food (in)secure HHs

Understand factors associated with food
insecurity and with risks to lives and livelihoods

Define easily recognisable characteristics that
can be used to target those at-risk
Advanced EFSA Learning Programme
How?
How is profiling done?
Cross (-tabulating) food (in)secure HHs against:










location
sex & age of head of HH
HH size
dependency ratio
education level
status (e.g. resident, IDP etc.)
main livelihood activity (livelihood groups)
main coping strategies
assets owned
other key characteristics relevant to context

food Q&Q▼
Why are people food insecure and why are
their lives or livelihoods at risk?
Analysis of factors associated with food
insecurity and with risks to lives or
livelihoods:

use contextual analysis (secondary
data + primary data) and HH profiling

use Conceptual Framework adapted to local context to
understand linkages
Advanced EFSA Learning Programme
Exercise 3.2.a.
Drought in Southern Province
With your partners:
 Analyse
the table and
determine which factors
appear to be associated
with risk.
 Be
prepared to provide
your reasoning.

Exercise 3.2.b
Identifying characteristics of food-insecure HHs &
individuals whose lives & livelihoods are at risk

What other information should be
analyzed to profile HHs in this
country?

Which information would help in
targeting?
