Integrated and enhanced dataset on food security and household coping strategies of Mali (2018-2023)

This dataset integrates and standardizes multiple cross-sectional household food security surveys conducted twice a year to support the Cadre Harmonisé process in West Africa. The surveys are carried out in two waves each year: First wave: Conducted before the start of the lean season (around February-March) Second wave: Conducted at the end of the lean season or beginning of the harvesting period (around September-October) These large-scale surveys are generally representative at the second-tier administrative level and capture data on the access and stability dimensions of food security. Key indicators include: Food Consumption Score (FCS) Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) Coping behaviors Additionally, this dataset is further augmented with information on several covariate shocks that took place in each second-level administrative area in the period between two subsequent surveys. The different covariate shocks added to the dataset relate to five shock domains: Conflict and political violence Food price anomalies Long-term climate hazards Rainy season performance Extreme weather events This comprehensive dataset provides valuable insights into food security and household coping strategies in Mali, enriched with data on various shocks impacting food security.本数据集整合并标准化了每年开展两次的多份横断面家庭粮食安全调查数据，以支撑西非地区的协调粮食安全分析框架（Cadre Harmonisé）工作。 该调查每年分为两波开展：第一波于粮食匮乏季开始前实施（大致为每年2-3月）；第二波于粮食匮乏季末期或收获季初期开展（大致为每年9-10月）。 此类大规模调查通常具备二级行政单元层面的代表性，并采集粮食安全可及性与稳定性维度的相关数据。 核心指标包括：食物消费得分（Food Consumption Score, FCS）、家庭膳食多样性得分（Household Dietary Diversity Score, HDDS）以及应对行为。 此外，本数据集还补充了两次相邻调查间隔期内，各二级行政单元发生的多类协变量冲击相关信息。 新增至数据集的协变量冲击共涵盖五大类别：冲突与政治暴力、食品价格异常、长期气候灾害、雨季表现以及极端天气事件。 本综合数据集可为马里地区的粮食安全状况与家庭应对策略提供宝贵的分析见解，同时补充了各类影响粮食安全的冲击相关数据。
