Albania - Food Insecurity Experience Scale 2023

Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 2.1 commits countries to end hunger, ensure access by all people to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year around. Indicator 2.1.2, “Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES)”, provides internationally-comparable estimates of the proportion of the population facing difficulties in accessing food. More detailed background information is available at http://www.fao.org/in-action/voices-of-the-hungry/fies/en/The FIES-based indicators are compiled using the FIES survey module, containing 8 questions. Two indicators can be computed: 1. The proportion of the population experiencing moderate or severe food insecurity (SDG indicator 2.1.2), 2. The proportion of the population experiencing severe food insecurity. These data were collected by FAO through the Gallup World Poll. General information on the methodology can be found here: https://www.gallup.com/178667/gallup-world-poll-work.aspx. National institutions can also collect FIES data by including the FIES survey module in nationally representative surveys.Microdata can be used to calculate the indicator 2.1.2 at national level. Instructions for computing this indicator are described in the methodological document available in the downloads tab. Disaggregating results at sub-national level is not encouraged because estimates will suffer from substantial sampling and measurement error.

可持续发展目标（Sustainable Development Goal, SDG）2.1项要求各国终结饥饿，保障全体民众全年均可获取安全、营养且充足的食物。指标2.1.2“基于粮食不安全经历量表（Food Insecurity Experience Scale, FIES）的中度或重度粮食不安全患病率”，可提供可在国际间比较的、面临粮食获取困难的人口比例估算结果。更详细的背景信息可查阅：http://www.fao.org/in-action/voices-of-the-hungry/fies/en/。
基于FIES的指标通过包含8个问题的FIES调查模块编制生成，可计算两项核心指标：1. 存在中度或重度粮食不安全状况的人口比例（即可持续发展目标指标2.1.2）；2. 存在重度粮食不安全状况的人口比例。此类数据由联合国粮食及农业组织（Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO）通过盖洛普世界民意调查（Gallup World Poll）收集完成。关于该研究方法的通用说明可访问：https://www.gallup.com/178667/gallup-world-poll-work.aspx。
各国国家机构亦可通过在具有全国代表性的调查中纳入FIES调查模块来收集FIES数据。微观数据可用于在国家层面计算指标2.1.2，该指标的具体计算步骤可在下载专区的方法学文件中查阅。不建议对结果进行次国家层面的拆分统计，因为此类估算值会面临显著的抽样误差与测量误差。
