A series of CIET food security studies in Bosnia & Herzegovina assisted the World Food Programme and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees to target their aid more effectively during the mid-1990s crisis and its aftermath.

 

Food security was the subject of a baseline study done for the World Food Programme in Nicaragua in 2000 and a rapid assessment for UNICEF in the same country in 2002 and was a component of the baseline study on social vulnerability that CIET helped to carry out in Venezuela in 2003.
