in the respective nation. A number of analysis has to be carried out to
understand food security in a specific nation. The analysis include;
Comprehensive Food Security and Vulnerability Analyses-CFSVAs, Emergency
assessments and market analyses-EFSA. The development actors use a number of technologies
such as GIS, satellite imagery, and mobile applications to analyze and manage
