Food Security in the Grand Sud after Matthew, Compared with the Rest of the Country

The comparative framing is what distinguishes this from a standard needs assessment. Matthew struck the southern peninsula specifically, and the question a regional coordination table has to answer is whether the Grand Sud is now materially worse off than the rest of a country that was already food-insecure, because that determines whether response resources should be concentrated there or spread. The MARNDR sets the region's post-storm food-security position against national conditions and then draws forward perspectives from it. Read with the CIAT's own territorial damage report of January 2017 and the ecological assessment from the same session, it gives the agricultural and consumption side of the same event.
