The purpose of this Technical Guidance Sheet (TGS) is to identify and provide guidance for addressing a number of substantive and methodological issues associated with conducting food and nutrition security assessments in urban areas. The rationale for doing so is that, inasmuch as existing guidance within WFP is intended to be applicable in both rural and urban contexts, it tends to exhibit a rural bias. Indeed, the same may be said of WFP staff experience and expertise. Both are a reflection of the fact that - prior to recent global food and fuel price increases - most WFP food and nutrition security assessments focused primarily on rural areas.
