In December 2010/January 2011, WFP and FAO – together with their partners – carried out a livelihood and food security assessment. The purpose of the assessment was to identify the extent of damage and quantify the impact on the food security and livelihood of the population affected by cyclone Giri. The results of the survey will assist in identifying and quantifying the post emergency recovery interventions for the affected population. The assessment covered 680 households in 55 villages.
