Special Event
Nigeria Food Security Simulator
The Nigeria presentation of the Food Security Simulator (FSS) Tool
Tuesday, October 31, 2023 / 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM Nigeria Time
In-person participation: Conference Room of Stratton Hotel, Asokoro, Abuja, Nigeria
The Food Security Simulator is an innovative and easy-to-use, MS-Excel-based tool for assessing the potential short-term impacts of food price or household income shocks on food security and people’s diets. The Simulator is an ideal tool for first-cut forward-looking evaluations of direct, household-level outcomes of economic crises and policy responses in a timely manner. The tool allows users to enter positive and negative price or income changes in percentage terms and provides simulated changes for a diverse set of food-consumption- and diet-quality-related indicators. In addition to detailed tabular presentations of all simulation results by household income quintile and residential area, key indicator results are summarized in concise overview tables and visualized in graphs for easy export and use in reports. The underlying data include estimates from representative household survey data and rigorous, sophisticated food demand models to capture consumer behavior.
Please join us for the Nigeria presentation of the FSS tool and on October 31 in Abuja, Nigeria!
