The Food Security Simulator is an innovative and easy to use, MS-Excel-based tool for assessing the potential short-term impacts of food price or household income shocks on food security and people’s diets.
The Simulator is an ideal tool for first-cut forward-looking evaluations of direct, household-level outcomes of economic crises and policy responses in a timely manner.
Key indicator results are summarized in concise overview tables and visualized in graphs. The underlying data include estimates from representative household survey data and rigorous, sophisticated food demand models to capture consumer behavior.
The Food Security Simulator Kenya was jointly developed by Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) , the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) , and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), under the CGIAR Initiatives on National Policies and Strategies (NPS).
