Food Security Cluster Kcal Map

2. Background • From September 2011, the FAC and A&L clusters commonly reported their food access responses based on the estimated number of KCals each response provided. • Food responses in KCals were estimated based on the daily number of KCals distributed using the NutVal 2006 - General Ration Planning and Calculation Sheet • Cash and voucher responses were approximated using a logarithm

3. Voucher and Cash Estimations • As part of the completion of the FAC and A&L clusters 3Ws members indicated the approximate ration in kgs each voucher was to purchase • Using NutVal 2006, the voucher basket converted into KCals and divided by the value of the voucher to come to a ratio of KCals to USD • This was then plotted on a x-y axis for 11 responses by FAC and A&L members and a natural log (equation of the line was derived)

5. Application • Based on the equation of the line, the number of cents per person per day was then transformed into KCals using the equation

6. Calculating KCals Required • Based on the disaggregated FSNAU Population in Crisis by region: • AFLC had a 50% daily KCal gap • HE had a 75% daily KCal gap • Famine/IDP had a 100% KCal gap • Applying this to the number of people by food security classification and a daily requirement of 2100 KCal led to an estimated number of KCals per region per day.

7. Mapping • Using the estimated number of KCals per day provided by the FAC and A&L Clusters and dividing this by the required KCals per day. • A monthly Map was generated
