The Foundation for Community Development Initiatives (FCDI) participated in the State Level Cadre Harmonisé (CH) Analysis convened by the State Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Livestock and Aquaculture Development held from the 20th to 26th October 2025. The Cadre Harmonisé exercise is a regional framework used across West Africa to analyze acute food and nutrition insecurity situations, providing evidence-based information for decision-making, humanitarian response planning, and early warning.
FCDI actively participated as a member of the Food Security and Livelihood (FSL) sector, contributing to data validation, situation analysis, and interpretation of key indicators including:
• Household food consumption score (FCS)
• Household hunger scale (HHS)
• Reduced coping strategy index (rCSI)
• Livelihood changes and income sources
• Market functionality and access
FCDI’s participation focused on representing community-level perspectives, especially from vulnerable groups within intervention LGAs, and ensuring that the analysis reflected local realities and field-based evidence.
