\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
According to the FAO, one person out of every four is chronically undernourished in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Dodoma Region in Tanzania features a predominance of high food insecurity areas. In order to enable a discussion on how food security enhancement can be realised and to guide policy"=making, it is crucial to carefully identify the main factors impacting on food security in specific regions or environments. For an appropriate analysis available data should be taken into account to provide a foundation before initiating action. The aim of this research is (1) to identify the food security status of households and (2) to find out the main driving factors affecting food security in the Dodoma region, For the purpose of this study, a mixed"=methods design, that combines both, qualitative and quantitative data sources, is utilised. In the context of the Tran-Sec project, conducted by fifteen institutions of Germany, USA, Kenya and Tanzania, an extensive survey has been realised with about 900 households participating. Collected data are basis for the quantitative part of this analysis







For this study, an approach has been developed to determine household food security status on three different levels:  availability, access and utilisation. While two existing indices have been utilised, one was developed by the author. By examining and utilising the household survey, socioeconomic and agricultural variables were constructed regarding characteristics of the household members, the production system, resilience to shocks and economical situation. 



Thereupon, three multivariate regression models are run to find out the main factors affecting food security on the different levels. The study proceeds by analysing semi"=structured interviews, which were conducted in the Dodoma region. Results of qualitative and quantitative data are analysed supplementary. Preliminary results indicated that regarding to three the three levels of food security, different factors have an impact.  Finally, this approach may uncover some roots of food insecurity in the surveyed region.
