Abstract
Many African countries have established food security information systems with a number of purposes. Much of the impetus in this area has been external and donor driven. Recent interest has focused on monitoring household food security and livelihoods. Many indicators used are difficult to interpret and provide, at best, a partial picture of the rural economy. If systems are judged by the extent to which the data are used, then the most successful are those which use simple indicators and which provide unambiguous and credible information. In Southern Africa, the benefits from better monitoring systems have yet to be realized.
