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). The FAO launched a first-round household survey in Sri Lanka through computer-assisted telephone interviews. Data was collected between 25 September and 12 November 2022.This first-round survey reached a random sample of 2404 households stratified at the provincial level. The survey targeted the nine provinces of the country – Central, Eastern, North Central, North Western, Northern, Sabaragamuwa, Southern, Uva and Western.
