How vulnerable are Ghanaian households to food insecurity? The Mobile Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (mVAM) survey report on Food Insecurity Vulnerability for October to December 2025, released by the Ghana Statistical Service, shows that 9 out of 10 households are maintaining acceptable food consumption, but about 2.6 million people remain vulnerable beneath this national average. In this video, I share where food insecurity vulnerabilities are concentrated and who is most at risk. #GSS #FoodSecurity #mVAM #DataForDevelopment #EvidenceBasedPolicy #GhanaStatistics #FoodInsecurity #VulnerabilityMapping

Food security is not just a statistic. It reflects how households live, cope, and plan for the future. The latest findings from the Mobile Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (mVAM) survey on food insecurity vulnerability show a clear reality. While most households are maintaining acceptable food consumption, many are doing so under pressure. Coping strategies are rising, and vulnerabilities remain concentrated in specific regions and groups. These insights matter because they point us to where action is needed most. The quote cards we are sharing highlight the key messages from the data. They are simple, but they tell an important story. A story about resilience, but also about risk. A story that calls for timely, targeted, and evidence-based action. At the Ghana Statistical Service, our role is to provide data that informs decisions and improves lives. But data alone is not enough. It must be used. I encourage government, development partners, the private sector, civil society, and all stakeholders to engage with this evidence and act where it matters most. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to the households who shared their experiences, our dedicated field staff and technical teams, our partners including the Government of Ghana, the World Food Programme, and KOICA, as well as the hardworking staff of the Ghana Statistical Service whose commitment made this report possible. Together, we can turn data into action and action into better outcomes for all. #GSS #FoodSecurity #mVAM #DataForDevelopment #EvidenceBasedPolicy #GhanaStatistics #FoodInsecurity #VulnerabilityMapping

The course focuses on establishing a strong understanding through theory and hands-on sessions on #timeseriesmapping, #LULC, #hazardmapping and #vulnerabilitymapping, #physical & #socialinfrastructure mapping, #landuseandtransportation analysis, #landsuitability analysis.

Having the youths involved fosters a sense ownership and responsibility, empowering them to become active participants in combating climate change.#inclusivecities #wearevca #vulnerabilitymapping @CitiesAlliance @WeAreVCA @Wanavijiji_sdi @Environment_Ke @MonicahGrace1 @DAbrahamB
