ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This paper was prepared for the Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Information and Mapping Systems (FIVIMS) Secretariat, as a contribution to the ongoing development of food insecurity monitoring systems at the national and sub-national levels, and was funded by DFID as part of a wider programme of technical support to FIVIMS. The views expressed here are those of the authors alone and do not necessarily reflect those of DFID or FIVIMS. and Wilcock are available as stand-alone papers. 1 In addition to these written inputs, a number of interviews were conducted, mainly in Rome and London, with people engaged in livelihoods approaches in international institutions.
