The joint assessment of food security, livelihoods and early recovery is a sample survey of more than 4,000 households in 11 earthquake-affected districts in Nepal conducted in September-October 2015. It is a follow-up to the baseline assessment conducted in May 2015 in the immediate aftermath of the April 25 earthquake. The joint assessment was a collaborative effort by a broad range of partners, including the Government of Nepal’s National Planning Commission and Ministry of Agricultural Development, Nepal Food Security Monitoring System (NeKSAP), OCHA, World Food Programme, Food and Agriculture Organization, United Nations Development Programme, Nepal Red Cross Society, Food Security, Early Recovery and Protection Clusters, inter-cluster Gender Working Group, and REACH.
