Government Monitoring Activities
National food security monitoring is conducted based on detailed information collected by the
Central Statistics Agency (BPS). This index comprises three elements: availability, food access,
and food consumption. However, this food security index is only monitored at the provincial
level, so it cannot be directly adopted for the intervention of lower administrative regions such
as districts/cities.428 Hence, the BKP also has a food insecurity index, or Indeks Kerawanan
Pangan (IKP), at the district/city level todeterminemore equitable food policies. The indicators
in IKP are as follows:
 The ratio of per capita normative consumption to net availability
 The percentage of population living below the poverty line
 The percentage of households with a proportion of food expenditure that is more than
65% of total expenditure
 The percentage of households without access to electricity
 The average length of schooling for women over 15 years of age
 The percentage of households without access to clean water
 The ratio of health workers to the general population
 The percentage of toddlers with substandard height (stunting)
 Life expectancy at birth
Monitoring that is conducted weekly is one aspect of availability. For example, this could be
looking at rice supply in a district/city by involving stakeholders from the central to the
district/city level.
