Adaptation from 'Review of Urban Assessment Practices' (P. Creti)
'This review has been commissioned by WFP and Oxfam GB with the aim of providing an overview and analysis of existing assessment approaches, tools and indicators used to measure livelihoods, food insecurity and vulnerability in urban contexts1. This review attempts to bring together the experiences and guidance from a variety of agencies and propose recommendations to carry these findings forward into concrete assessment guidance. The report has been structured around the components of the Food and Nutrition Security Framework and touches upon various aspects looking in particular at the need to identify what differentiate urban from rural context when assessing food security needs and how assessments practices may be affected in cities. This paper is intended to constitute a basis for forthcoming discussions on how to improve existing guidance and create new tools to tackle the specific challenges that arises in urban contexts. The train of thoughts proposed here intends to follow the sequence in which assessors may find themselves confronted to the issues during an assessment exercise.'
