The goal of the Community Food Security Profiling (CFSP) is to provide a participatory and qualitative assessment of the nature of food security and vulnerability and potential responses in selected areas of the country. The results of the study are expected to be indicative and descriptive, giving weight to problems in most food insecure communities, rather than being statistically valid for assessing the food security situation in the Sri Lanka. The findings support the recently introduced change in the World Food Programme focus and increased emphasis on utilisation of food aid as a tool for recovery and rehabilitation.
