KEY MESSAGES
• The proportion of households (HHs) with a poor Food Consumption Score (FCS) significantly decreased from 97% at baseline to 2% at endline, while those with an acceptable FCS increased from 0% to 58% during the same period, reflecting improved food access. Moreover, by endline, 66% of HHs were at least marginally food secure (vs. 5% at baseline), with only 2% facing severe food insecurity, demonstrating rapid stabilization.
• The percentage of HHs spending above the Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) increased from 0% at baseline to 25% at endline, indicating improved financial capacity and signalling stronger economic resilience. However, food remained the primary expense, limiting resources for other essential needs.
• The proportion of HHs using emergency coping strategies declined from 32% in the baseline to only 4% in the endline assessment, explaining a decline from 4.1 to 2.4 in the average Livelihood Coping Strategies Index (LCSI) score.
