The FAO has developed a monitoring system in 26 food crisis countries to better understand the impacts of various shocks on agricultural livelihoods, food security and local value chains. The Monitoring System consists of primary data collected from households on a periodic basis (more or less every four months, depending on seasonality). In Nigeria, the FAO launched the second-round survey which was conducted through face-to-face interviews from 26 June to 8 July 2022 and reached 1703 households. Data collection took place at the beginning of the planting season across five states: Adamawa, Borno, Katsina, Yobe and Zamfara. Some Enumeration Areas (EAs), mostly in Borno, were replaced following the original sampling design due to insecurity. The EAs were replaced by randomly selecting other areas that were considered accessible in consultation with local government authorities.
