dc.descriptionThis report presents a trend analysis of food insecurity based on food consumption data derived from the 2002/3 and 2007/8 Lao PDR Expenditure and Consumption Surveys (LECS). Covering more than 8,000 households in 518 villages nationwide, the LECS is a key source of information for both government and its development partners alike. The report analyses the food security situation in Lao PDR based on food consumption statistics from the household level over a five year period (2002/3 to 2007/8). Using the Food Security Statistics Module (FSSM) developed by FAO, key trends in undernourishment, dietary energy deficit, inequality of access, dietary composition and macro-nutrient consumption are summarized. Data are presented by income quintiles, size of household, urban and rural areas, and for both male and female headed households, as applicable. Key findings are presented in text boxes at the beginning of each section.
