The Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), in collaboration with the UN World Food Programme (WFP), has launched a four-month mobile survey aimed at enhancing real-time monitoring of food security across Ghana. Through 12,000 targeted interviews, the initiative will collect timely data on household food access, nutritional status, and market dynamics.
The survey will run for 30 days each month throughout the duration of the project. What is the mVAM Survey? The mVAM Survey, developed by the World Food Programme (WFP), is a cutting-edge tool for collecting real-time, reliable data on food security and vulnerability using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI).
Through mobile-based structured interviews, trained interviewers will engage directly with selected households, enabling geo-referenced data collection and timely insights. into how households are accessing nutritional food.
Purpose of the Survey The primary goal of the mVAM Survey is to track changes in food security, identify vulnerable populations, and track market dynamics in real time. The insights gathered will inform national policy, and guide targeted interventions for communities at risk.
By understanding these evolving trends, the Government of Ghana, WFP, and stakeholders can more effectively respond to challenges such as inflation, climate shocks, and supply chain disruptions. Why your Participation Matters.
All selected households are urged to actively participate in this important national exercise as your contributions are vital to shaping effective food security programmes.
This survey is conducted solely for statistical analysis and policy development, and all responses will be kept strictly confidential. Households are also assured that all calls made as part of the mVAM Survey are completely free of charge.
GSS interviewers will never ask for money, gifts, or personal banking information.
