Periodic evaluation of the food security and nutrition monitoring systems for their intended objectives is essential for reorienting them towards the constantly changing information needs and for redesigning the food and nutrition intervention programs. This paper develops a framework for evaluating food security and nutrition monitoring systems. It is argued that unless the existing food security monitoring systems are constantly evaluated for their performance and impact and modified to meet the changing information needs of policymakers, they may become irrelevant for food security decisionmaking.
