The goal of the national FIVIMS is to contribute to the reduction of food insecurity and vulnerability in the country, in consonance with the WFS commitment of reducing the number of undernourished people in the world by at least 50% by the year 2015.

The general objective is to provide general guidelines for establishing an integrated information system on food insecurity and vulnerability through creating a mechanism of sharing and inter-agency coordination aimed at improving utilization of information for decision-making and action programs at the national and local levels.
