Kuwait - Food Insecurity Experience Scale 2015

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 under the "DOCUMENTATION" tab above. 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项要求各国致力于终结饥饿，保障全体民众全年均可获取安全、营养且充足的食品。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”，可提供可实现国际比较的、面临粮食获取困难的人口占比估算结果。更详细的背景信息可通过以下链接获取：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，可计算两项指标：1. 存在中度或重度粮食不安全状况的人口占比（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占比。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。关于该方法的通用说明可通过以下链接查阅：https://www.gallup.com/178667/gallup-world-poll-work.aspx。各国国家机构也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相关数据。微观数据可用于在国家层面计算指标2.1.2，该指标的计算说明已在上方"DOCUMENTATION"标签下的方法学文件中予以详述。不建议在次国家层面拆分统计结果，因为相关估算值会面临显著的抽样误差与测量误差。
