Bulgaria - 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项承诺各国终结饥饿，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”，可提供可进行国际比较的、面临粮食获取困难的人口占比估算值。更多详细背景信息可查阅：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，可计算两项指标：1. 经历中度或重度粮食不安全的人口占比（即SDG指标2.1.2）；2. 经历重度粮食不安全的人口占比。此类数据由联合国粮食及农业组织（FAO）通过盖洛普世界民意调查（Gallup World Poll）收集。有关该方法的通用信息可参见：https://www.gallup.com/178667/gallup-world-poll-work.aspx。

各国相关机构亦可将FIES调查模块纳入全国代表性调查中，以此收集FIES数据。可通过微观数据在国家层面计算指标2.1.2，相关计算说明可在下载专区的方法学文件中查阅。不建议将结果拆分至次国家级层面，因为估算结果会面临显著的抽样与测量误差。
