Series Information
The food security survey was a telephone based survey conducted between August 15th and September 8th 2017. The interview was the second round of a telephone survey using a sub-set of the sample of GHS (General Household Survey) households. The first round of the telephone interview was administered during spring 2017 with 717 completed interviews with the following geographical distribution: 175 interviews in the North East, 276 in North Central and 266 in South South. The first round was focused on conflict exposure, while the second round discussed in this report focused on food insecurity in conflict affected regions.
This survey focuses on conflict in North East, North Central, and South South Nigeria. Each of these three geopolitical zones has a unique history and context of conflict.
North East Nigeria comprises six states: Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe.
North Central Nigeria consists of the states of Benue, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, and Plateau, as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Abstract
In this report, we present data from the emergency response survey conducted via telephone among households in three conflict affected regions of Nigeria, North East, North Central and South South between August-September 2017. This round is the second round of telephone data collected from a subsample of households in the Nigeria General Household Survey (GHS). The first round collected data on conflict exposure.
The purpose of this second round of data collection was to understand food insecurity in conflict affected regions. Armed conflict can have a detrimental effect on food security. This might be due to for example reduced agricultural production, or price increases due to malfunctioning markets. Food insecurity might be permanent, such that a household living below the poverty line has a constant struggle to acquire food from the market or produce food for their own use. In situations such as armed conflict, also better endowed households might be temporarily food insecure.
In this report, we find that food insecurity is a major concern in all the three regions studied:
· The mean household in all the three regions is “highly food insecure”
· North East of Nigeria is the most food insecure of the three regions
· Reducing meals or portion size is the most important coping strategy in all three regions
· Food prices are the most important source of food insecurity in all three regions
· A large majority of households rely on the market as the main source of food in all regions. Price concerns should therefore be taken very seriously by policy makers.
· Households in all three regions do not report there being an inadequate supply of food in the market.
