16/06/2021 We established WFP’s near real-time food security monitoring systems, which collect daily food security information using live calls conducted through call centres. These systems make it possible to collect data on a continuous basis — offering an assessment method that is cheaper, faster and provides a representative snapshot of the food security situation at any given point in time.
