Remote food security monitoring (mVAM)

Offered by Leiden University, mVAM,
Remote food security monitoring (mVAM)

Collecting primary data on food security in can be challenging, time consuming and costly ‒ particularly in areas with limited humanitarian access. Remote data collection is a flexible and efficient way to collect food security information and it allows for frequent food security monitoring in unstable areas without putting the enumerators at risk.

This course aims to give a clear understanding of what remote food security monitoring entails, when it is a useful tool, and how to implement a remote food security monitoring project.

You can access the Remote Food Security Monitoring Online Course (click on the button "Enroll in course") by inserting the access code: UPAF-MSEF

This course is targeted towards students and humanitarians/ development professionals that are interested in learning about food security monitoring and assessments. Materials can be also relevant for all who wish to deploy (or all already running) a remote data collection project in challenging contexts.
