CSI – THE BASIC LOGIC
• When faced with a food shortfall, or the threat of a food shortfall, households enact a range of strategies (adjustments from ‘normal behavior’) to cope
• CSI utilizes the range of coping strategies enacted by a HH to derive a proxy indicator of its relative food insecurity status

CSI – BASIC QUESTION
‘What do you do when you don’t have enough food and don’t have enough money to buy food?’
![Page 5: T HE C OPING S TRATEGY I NDEX (CSI) T HE C OPING S TRATEGY I NDEX (CSI) Sentinel Site Training- Kabul, Afghanistan May 20 -22 2012 Aida Ndiaye Tools and](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071805/56649cca5503460f94992738/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CSI – THE INDICATOR (OR REDUCED INDEX)
Is built around five questions that represent varying degrees of food coping strategies carried out by a household within the last 7 days.
Is a composite indicator (or index) of HH food insecurity that combines the severity of the strategies and the frequency of use of the strategy a household enacts
frequency*severity…
Developed to be used to compare food security across different contexts.
The more severe the coping strategies used by a HH and the more frequently they are used, the higher the CSI score
The higher the CSI score, the more food insecure the household

CSI – UTILITY AND UTILIZATION
Useful as both current (situation analysis) & leading indicator (early warning)
HH can be compared within and between contexts

CSI – THE TOOL
In the past 7 days, if there have been times when you did not have enough food or money to buy food, how often has your household had to:
Frequency
0=never1=rarely (1-2 days)2=sometimes(3-4 days)3=often (5-6 days)4=every day (7 days)
1.
Rely on less preferred and less expensive foods?
|___|
2.
Borrow food, or rely on help from a friend or relative?
|___|
3.
Limit portion size at mealtimes?|___|
4.
Restrict consumption by adults in order for small children to eat? |___|
5.
Reduce number of meals eaten in a day?|___|

CSI – COMPUTING THE INDEX
A household’s CSI score is calculated by multiplying the frequency value (freq) of each coping strategy by its severity weight (sev)
Summing the product of this calculation for the five consumption coping strategies included in the CSI list
The formula is
CSI = (freqCS1*sevCS1)+ (freqCS2*sevCS2)+ …… + (freqCS5*sevCS5)
