Uganda has made some progress improving nutrition but still faces challenges with high levels of stunting and anemia. The government has developed nutrition policies and plans and established units focused on food and nutrition security within the Ministries of Agriculture and Health. However, coverage of key interventions remains limited. A new multisectoral nutrition project funded by GAFSP aims to increase production and consumption of nutrient-rich foods and use of community nutrition services through school gardens, nutrition education, and small community gardens. To further accelerate progress, the document recommends mainstreaming nutrition across agriculture and health programs, strengthening institutions and community interventions, and increasing advocacy efforts.
The Global Initiative for Food Systems Leadership aims to develop leaders to strengthen global food systems through in-person and virtual training programs.

This document evaluates methods for detecting aquaculture waterbodies in southern Bangladesh using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral data. It finds that ensembles of SAR and multispectral data improved water detection rates over individual methods. Shape indices and SAR backscatter data helped differentiate waterbodies. However, the study was limited by 10m spatial resolution and vegetation interference, which affected segmentation of small or irregular waterbodies. Overall, the best methods achieved water detection rates up to 87% in districts, though prediction performance was lower due to segmentation limitations.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 5: Fish trader and feed trader survey resultsWorldFish
The document summarizes the results of surveys of fish traders and feed traders in southwest Bangladesh. It finds that most fish markets are privately owned and located in urban areas, and have access to basic facilities like electricity, ice, and roads for transporting fish. The number of fish and feed traders has increased significantly in the last decade. Fish trading deals mostly in carp, while feed trading sells floating feed pellets. Both fish and feed trading were profitable businesses but were negatively impacted by reduced demand during COVID-19, with traders reporting lower sales and incomes.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 3: Introduction to Survey MethodsWorldFish
- The document summarizes survey methods used in 2014 and 2020 to study the aquaculture value chain in Bangladesh.
- In 2014, a stacked value chain survey covered 20 districts and interviewed over 3,000 actors including 1,540 farmers, hatcheries, traders, and input providers using purposive stratified random sampling.
- In 2020, the survey focused on 7 districts in South and Southwestern Bangladesh, updating the 2014 panel and randomly selecting replacements. It developed censuses and randomly surveyed over 1,000 individuals across farm households, traders, and input traders.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 721 aquatic farms in Bangladesh. It finds that farms produce a diverse mix of fish, shrimp, and prawn, with fish being the dominant crop. Integrated crop and aquatic farming is also common. The survey found high levels of disease, especially impacting shrimp farms. It also found that farms were highly exposed to extreme weather like flooding. COVID-19 negatively impacted production, though fish farms were less affected. Overall, the systems were found to be profitable and resilient despite challenges due to their diverse and adaptable nature.
The document summarizes results from a combined survey and remote sensing study of aquaculture farms in seven districts in Bangladesh. It finds that:
1) Machine learning estimates of total farm area were similar to government statistics, and calculated average production values, incomes, feed use, and jobs per hectare to estimate totals for the districts.
2) The study estimated a total value of aquaculture production of $1.45 billion USD and farm profits of $670 million USD across the seven districts.
3) The results reveal the potential of combining remote sensing, machine learning, and representative surveys to estimate a wide range of sector statistics, though some estimates differed from government reports.
This document provides an overview of the "Harnessing Machine Learning to Estimate Aquaculture Production and Value Chain Performance in Bangladesh" project. The project was funded by USAID Innovation Lab for Fish and implemented from April 2020 to September 2022 by Michigan State University, BAU, WorldFish, and CIAT. The project aimed to survey aquaculture farmers, fish traders, and suppliers; use machine learning on remote sensing images combined with survey data to estimate economic impacts; and build capacity through extension videos. Key components included surveying 1100 participants, using machine learning to analyze remote sensing data, and disseminating short extension videos on social media.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
2. One Health
What it isn’t…
§ A discipline
§ An exclusive domain
§ Unfocussed
What it should be…
§ An approach or, a way of working/thinking
§ Inclusive across domains
§ Focussed on achieving a shared goal
§ Widely applicable to complex issues
§ Obtainable/measurable
What it needs…
§ Open minds
§ Shared visions
§ Equality of contributions
§ Progressive refinement
Welcome to the workshop!
3. Applying One Health
thinking
The shared issue, vision, or goal
The measures that are
important for achievement of
the goal (across E-O-P health)
The mechanisms by which success
measures can be realized

Level 1 - no research, evidence, policy, or legislation in
place to allow delivery of SM
Level 2- basic research available but has not been
applied to policy formation and legislation to allow
delivery of SM consistently
Level 3- applied research has been conducted and used
for policy formation and legislation to deliver SM, but not
yet applied
Level 4- policy and legislation is in place, is continually
refined by further research and evidence but SM is not
being consistently achieved
Level 5- policy and legislation is in place and applied
consistently, research and evidence contribute to further
refinement, or SM being consistently achieved
6. Setting priorities
‘You’ve used up potentially large amounts of resource to get
absolutely nowhere’
§ Animal health and food safety are critical early
elements in any OHA strategy
§ Capacity to detect and control for known/new hazards
underpins stable and safe production/trade
§ Failure to control creates instability and utilises
significant animal-human-environment capital without
tangible outcome (food/income)

8. Using the next two days…
§ To understand future aquaculture aspirations for Bangladesh (the goal)
§ To consider how aspects of OHA concept may be applied (the measures)
§ To discuss priorities and the strategies to address these (the mechanisms)
§ To create significant and lasting relationships between individuals-
organisations
§ To consider yourself and your organisation part of the OHA approach
