This document outlines policies and programs on food and nutrition in Ethiopia. It discusses nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions, and the pathways through which nutrition-sensitive interventions can affect diet and food systems. It then provides an overview of Ethiopia's policy landscape on food and nutrition, outlining various strategies and policies that aim to improve nutrition, including the Food, Nutrition and Policy, Agriculture Growth Program Phase II, Productive Safety Net Program, and National Nutrition Program. The document concludes that Ethiopia has a favorable policy environment for improving diets and nutrition, but effective implementation, coordination, evidence-based scaling up of interventions, and strong monitoring and evaluation are still needed.

1) The study assessed facilitators and constraints to implementing Ethiopia's National Nutrition Program (NNP) at national and sub-national levels. It found that while the NNP design considered multi-sector involvement, implementation faced challenges with leadership, capacity, awareness, coordination, and budget constraints, especially at sub-national levels.
2) Key challenges included lack of nutrition focal points in non-health sectors, limited awareness outside health sectors, and minimal sub-national coordination. Budget limitations were also a constraint.
3) Recommendations included establishing high-level multi-sectoral coordination led by the Prime Minister's office, capacity building at sub-national levels, and designating nutrition focal points in all

Research Gaps in Food and Nutrition Security Across Africa
Research Gaps in Food and Nutrition Security Across AfricaAfrican Regional Strategic Analysis and Knowledge Support System (ReSAKSS)
There are several research gaps in food and nutrition security across Africa according to the document. Key gaps include a substantial duplication of research effort, research not being adequately linked to local priorities, and research being driven more by external parties rather than the local policy and research community. Additionally, there is limited evidence on nutrition issues like women's and adolescent's nutrition, dietary behaviors, and how to effectively scale up proven nutrition-sensitive interventions. Addressing these gaps will require better coordination of research efforts, a focus on understanding differences at subnational levels, and leadership to manage cross-sectoral food and nutrition security research within countries.Nutrition policy issues in Ethiopia
Changing patterns of malnutrition in Ethiopia and lessons learned. Stunting, wasting, and underweight rates in children under 5 have declined significantly from 2000 to 2014 due to decisive government commitment and leadership. Key factors contributing to improvements include strengthened primary health care and nutrition-specific interventions, expanded access to agriculture and education, and multi-sectoral nutrition policies integrated across health, agriculture, education, industry, and social protection sectors. Remaining challenges include continuing to address equity and quality, strengthening nutrition-sensitive actions and information systems, and managing the emerging issues of overweight and obesity.

5011 Q sir_7&8 chapter,OK
Maternal and child undernutrition is a serious problem in Bangladesh, with nearly half of children under five stunted and 14% suffering from wasting. Micronutrient deficiencies like iron deficiency anemia and iodine deficiency are also widespread. Inadequate childcare practices like low rates of exclusive breastfeeding and late introduction of complementary foods contribute to undernutrition. While the government and NGOs have implemented some nutrition interventions, coverage remains low and interventions have faced challenges. The government has now established the National Nutrition Service to mainstream nutrition services and implement a multi-sectoral response to reduce malnutrition in Bangladesh.
Nutrition in Ethiopia: An emerging success story?
1) Ethiopia has experienced one of the fastest reductions in pre-schooler stunting in the 2000s, declining from 57.4% in 2000 to 44.2% in 2011.
2) This improvement is driven primarily by reductions in small birth size and improvements in maternal nutrition, likely related to reductions in open defecation from over 90% to 46%.
3) While birth size improvements were seen across rural and urban areas, improvements in child growth after birth were only seen in urban areas, potentially due to improved feeding practices and health/sanitation.

This document summarizes research on the impacts of social protection programs in Ethiopia on child nutrition. It finds that while the Productive Safety Nets Programme (PSNP) and social cash transfer pilot program in Tigray improved household food security, neither program improved child nutrition outcomes. Child malnutrition levels remained high, likely because the programs did not effectively integrate nutrition education and interventions. Maternal education had limited impact on child nutrition, and many children faced chronic undernutrition from a very young age. Improving nutrition knowledge and hygiene practices is needed for social protection to fully address child malnutrition in Ethiopia.

Overview of Research on Adolescent Nutrition in West Africa
This document summarizes the findings of a systematic review mapping existing peer-reviewed research on adolescent nutrition in West Africa between 1999-2019. The review identified 154 relevant studies, with most focusing on prevalence and drivers of undernutrition, overweight/obesity, and diet-related non-communicable diseases. Few studies evaluated nutrition programs or policies. While research output has increased over time, evidence remains limited across most West African countries. The review highlights key gaps including a lack of intervention research and nutrition policies specifically targeting adolescents in the region.

The presentation outlines a project proposal aimed at capacity building in health and nutrition for Timor-Leste, developed through extensive consultation with the Ministry of Health, development partners, NGOs, and civil society. The primary objective of the project is to enhance the nutritional status of women and children who are particularly vulnerable to malnutrition. The project proposal comprises four key areas that address the capacity gaps identified through stakeholder consultations and documented in published reports and strategies. By providing additional support and interventions, as well as strengthening existing structures, the proposed interventions would help to improve the nutrition status of children and women. The proposal further suggests that the capacity of Integrated Community Health Services (Sisca) could be enhanced to improve rural health services. Such improvements would help to address the existing disparities in health outcomes between rural and urban areas in Timor-Leste. Through the proposed interventions, the project aims to support the overall development of the health and nutrition sector in Timor-Leste. By addressing the identified capacity gaps, the project would help to build sustainable systems that can deliver effective health and nutrition services to the population.
In conclusion, the presentation explains a comprehensive project proposal that aims to improve the nutritional status of vulnerable women and children in Timor-Leste. The proposal is based on extensive consultation with stakeholders and would address capacity gaps identified through published reports and strategies. Through this project, it would be possible to enhance rural health services by strengthening the capacity of Integrated Community Health Services (Sisca) and supporting existing structures. Ultimately, the proposed interventions would contribute to the development of sustainable health and nutrition systems in Timor-Leste.

Chapter 14: Commitments and accountability: Peru’s unique nutrition journey [...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
PERUVIANS HAVE MUCH to celebrate in regards to the rapid progress the country has made in reducing malnutrition. In 2013, only 3.5 percent of children under five years of age in Peru were underweight. Even smaller proportions— 0.5 percent and 0.1 percent—were moderately or severely wasted. But the statistic that many nutritionists point to when lauding the country as a nutrition success is Peru’s rate of childhood stunting (Figure 14.1). In 2014, 14.6 percent of children under five years of age were stunted. While this rate is not as low as the country’s other nutrition indicators, it reflects a remarkable improvement. Less than a decade earlier, the prevalence was twice as high (29.5 percent).4 How was this rapid progress achieved—not only at a national level, but across all of Peru’s diverse regions, even poor rural ones including the Andean Highlands, and even amongst the poorest 20 percent of the population?Small children but big numbers: Estimating the economic benefits of addressin...

This document summarizes the evolution of understanding and approaches to addressing malnutrition over the past 50 years. It began with a focus on treating severe protein deficiency and hunger in the 1950s-1960s. In the 1970s, the importance of multisectoral interventions was recognized. However, these had little impact, leading to a more isolated focus on micronutrients and breastfeeding in the 1980s. Understanding continued evolving in the 1990s-2000s to incorporate the political economy of nutrition and promote biofortified crops. High-level political commitment to addressing undernutrition increased significantly from 2010 onward among international organizations and governments.

SEVERE ACUTE MALNUTRITION (SAM)—extremely low weight for one’s height—is a life-threatening condition affecting mostly children under five years of age. It is caused by a combination of infection, such as diarrheal disease, and poor diets that are inadequate for nutritional needs. SAM is one of the top three nutrition-related causes of death in children under five according to the 2008 Maternal and Child Nutrition Lancet Series. A child with SAM is 11 times more likely to die than a well-nourished child. Despite the size of the problem, until the early 2000s SAM appeared to be a so-called neglected disease: little support went to large-scale treatment programs targeted toward children with SAM. Few countries-even among those with a high prevalence of malnutrition-had a clear national policy for detecting and treating SAM children.10 The development and adoption of a new approach-the community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM)-was to change the public health nutrition landscape by bringing treatment out of hospitals and into the community Prakash
This document discusses malnutrition, its causes, effects, and treatment. It defines malnutrition as a condition resulting from a diet lacking in nutrients. Malnutrition affects over 50% of children in India and is caused by factors such as poverty, lack of education, over-reliance on single food sources, and lack of agricultural productivity. Malnutrition in children leads to increased mortality and is measured through stunting, underweight, and wasting. The Indian government addresses malnutrition through programs that provide school meals, maternal/child healthcare, and income support. Treatment involves dietary changes, supplements, or medical nutrition for severe cases.
Preliminary results: Malawi Zero Hunger and Malnutrition Strategic Review
This presentation shared preliminary findings from the Malawi Zero Hunger and Malnutrition Strategic Review (ZHMSR), which is a government-led, independent, analytical, and consultative exercise to identify the key challenges Malawi faces in achieving the second Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2), to "end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture" by 2030.
The results were presented at the Lilongwe office of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) by Dr. Grace Kumchulesi, from the ZHMSR research team. The seminar is part of IFPRI Malawi's Brown Bag Research Seminar series, which allows for presentation of early research results for discussion and feedback.
Opportunities for nutritional monitoring and implementation zambia
The document discusses opportunities for nutritional monitoring and implementation at the national level in Zambia. It outlines how household surveys conducted by Zambia's National Statistical Office collect data on nutrition levels, food consumption, and malnutrition. This data provides opportunities to monitor nutritional status over time and evaluate the impact of nutrition programs and policies. While the surveys have limitations, they represent the most reliable way to collect household data on a large, representative scale and allow ongoing assessment of implementation efforts.

The document discusses ways to tackle malnutrition in India through a proposed micro-nutrient nutrition program. It notes that over 30% of India's population suffers from calorie-protein and micronutrient deficiencies. The program would provide multiple vitamin and mineral supplements to pregnant and lactating women and children aged 6-59 months. It outlines the composition of supplements designed to provide daily recommended nutrient intake. The program aims to address malnutrition across generations in a coordinated manner through supplements, fortified foods, and public awareness campaigns.

Chapter 15: On the fast track: Driving down stunting in Vietnam [Nourishing M...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
VIETNAM HAS MADE dramatic progress in improving nutrition over the past three decades. Following the introduction of Vietnam’s Doi Moi (“renovation”) economic policies in 1986, the country’s economic performance began to improve rapidly. By the 1990s, Vietnam was among the fastest growing economies in the world. From one of the five poorest countries in the world in 1984, Vietnam rose to a rank of 167 out of 206 by 1999. As the country transitioned to a market-oriented economy, rapid economic growth was accompanied by a similarly dramatic decline in the poverty rate, which fell from nearly 75 percent of the population in 1984, to 58 percent in 1993, and down to 37 percent by 1998. Economic growth enabled the country to provide improved health services, which contributed directly to reductions in child malnutrition.09041994
This document proposes solutions to reduce malnutrition globally. It states that malnutrition affects billions and contributes to millions of child deaths daily from lack of essential nutrients. It recommends providing affordable vitamin/mineral supplements to vulnerable people and encouraging communities to improve food production/consumption. The proposed solutions aim to integrate health services, ensure quality care, alleviate cost barriers, and receive funding from eliminating user fees and establishing cash transfer systems. However, challenges include lack of political will due to funding issues, lack of awareness, and orthodox societies.
Association Between Bio-fortification and Child Nutrition Among Smallholder H...
This study examined the relationship between biofortification and child stunting in Uganda using panel data from 6 districts over 3 years. A panel logistic regression was estimated to study the association between child stunting and household production of biofortified crops. The results confirmed a strong association between production of biofortified varieties and reduced child stunting. Other factors associated with lower stunting included male gender, older child age, higher birth weight, greater dietary diversity, more education of caregiver, better antenatal care, smaller household size, and better access to water and livestock. The findings provide empirical support for Uganda's policies promoting biofortified crops to address malnutrition.

The Effects of the Ghana School Feeding Programme on Local Rice Production: A...Business, Management and Economics Research
The Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) is the local version of the Home-Grown School
Feeding Programme (HGSP) that has a mandate to give one hot meal a day to school children in public schools
from kindergarten through to primary six. Launched in 2005 the programme has the goal of contributing to
poverty reduction and increased food security in Ghana. One of the key objectives of the programme is to
boost domestic food production by purchasing locally produce foodstuffs and providing a sustainable market
for local food producers in the community. To analyse the effect of the programme on rice production in four
districts in the Northern Region of Ghana, a formal cross section survey of 80 small holder rice farmers and 40
GSFP caterers, across the four districts was conducted. The translog production function was applied to
analyse the programme‟s effect on rice output while the probit model was used to analyse the factors
influencing rice farmers to supply to the programme on one hand and the factors affecting caterer‟s decision to
purchase rice from the rice farmers on the other. The results from the analysis of the production function shows
that the coefficients of farm labour, farm size, and fertilizer application were highly significant in increasing
farmers‟ output. While access to the GSFP had a positive influence on output it was statistically insignificant.
The results also show that majority of GSFP caterers buy rice from local millers and the market. The factors
which had significant influence on the caterers to buy from the rice farmer include availability of storage
facility, farmer‟s willingness to process the paddy rice and sell on credit, price of milled rice, and proximity of
rice farmers. The major conclusion of the study is that the effect of the programme on rice farmers output was
not significant. This was attributed to poor linkage between the farmers and the programme even though about
100 percent of rice consumed by the GSFP is produced locallyMore Related Content

Treatment involves dietary changes, supplements, or medical nutrition for severe cases.
Preliminary results: Malawi Zero Hunger and Malnutrition Strategic Review
This presentation shared preliminary findings from the Malawi Zero Hunger and Malnutrition Strategic Review (ZHMSR), which is a government-led, independent, analytical, and consultative exercise to identify the key challenges Malawi faces in achieving the second Sustainable Development Goal (SDG 2), to "end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture" by 2030.
The results were presented at the Lilongwe office of the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) by Dr. Grace Kumchulesi, from the ZHMSR research team. The seminar is part of IFPRI Malawi's Brown Bag Research Seminar series, which allows for presentation of early research results for discussion and feedback.
Opportunities for nutritional monitoring and implementation zambia
The document discusses opportunities for nutritional monitoring and implementation at the national level in Zambia. It outlines how household surveys conducted by Zambia's National Statistical Office collect data on nutrition levels, food consumption, and malnutrition. This data provides opportunities to monitor nutritional status over time and evaluate the impact of nutrition programs and policies. While the surveys have limitations, they represent the most reliable way to collect household data on a large, representative scale and allow ongoing assessment of implementation efforts.
Doers
The document discusses ways to tackle malnutrition in India through a proposed micro-nutrient nutrition program. It notes that over 30% of India's population suffers from calorie-protein and micronutrient deficiencies. The program would provide multiple vitamin and mineral supplements to pregnant and lactating women and children aged 6-59 months. It outlines the composition of supplements designed to provide daily recommended nutrient intake. The program aims to address malnutrition across generations in a coordinated manner through supplements, fortified foods, and public awareness campaigns.

Chapter 15: On the fast track: Driving down stunting in Vietnam [Nourishing M...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
VIETNAM HAS MADE dramatic progress in improving nutrition over the past three decades. Following the introduction of Vietnam’s Doi Moi (“renovation”) economic policies in 1986, the country’s economic performance began to improve rapidly. By the 1990s, Vietnam was among the fastest growing economies in the world. From one of the five poorest countries in the world in 1984, Vietnam rose to a rank of 167 out of 206 by 1999. As the country transitioned to a market-oriented economy, rapid economic growth was accompanied by a similarly dramatic decline in the poverty rate, which fell from nearly 75 percent of the population in 1984, to 58 percent in 1993, and down to 37 percent by 1998. Economic growth enabled the country to provide improved health services, which contributed directly to reductions in child malnutrition.09041994
This document proposes solutions to reduce malnutrition globally. It states that malnutrition affects billions and contributes to millions of child deaths daily from lack of essential nutrients. It recommends providing affordable vitamin/mineral supplements to vulnerable people and encouraging communities to improve food production/consumption. The proposed solutions aim to integrate health services, ensure quality care, alleviate cost barriers, and receive funding from eliminating user fees and establishing cash transfer systems. However, challenges include lack of political will due to funding issues, lack of awareness, and orthodox societies.

This study examined the relationship between biofortification and child stunting in Uganda using panel data from 6 districts over 3 years. A panel logistic regression was estimated to study the association between child stunting and household production of biofortified crops. The results confirmed a strong association between production of biofortified varieties and reduced child stunting. Other factors associated with lower stunting included male gender, older child age, higher birth weight, greater dietary diversity, more education of caregiver, better antenatal care, smaller household size, and better access to water and livestock. The findings provide empirical support for Uganda's policies promoting biofortified crops to address malnutrition.

The Effects of the Ghana School Feeding Programme on Local Rice Production: A...Business, Management and Economics Research
The Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP) is the local version of the Home-Grown School
Feeding Programme (HGSP) that has a mandate to give one hot meal a day to school children in public schools
from kindergarten through to primary six. Launched in 2005 the programme has the goal of contributing to
poverty reduction and increased food security in Ghana. One of the key objectives of the programme is to
boost domestic food production by purchasing locally produce foodstuffs and providing a sustainable market
for local food producers in the community. To analyse the effect of the programme on rice production in four
districts in the Northern Region of Ghana, a formal cross section survey of 80 small holder rice farmers and 40
GSFP caterers, across the four districts was conducted. The translog production function was applied to
analyse the programme‟s effect on rice output while the probit model was used to analyse the factors
influencing rice farmers to supply to the programme on one hand and the factors affecting caterer‟s decision to
purchase rice from the rice farmers on the other. The results from the analysis of the production function shows
that the coefficients of farm labour, farm size, and fertilizer application were highly significant in increasing
farmers‟ output. While access to the GSFP had a positive influence on output it was statistically insignificant.
The results also show that majority of GSFP caterers buy rice from local millers and the market. The factors
which had significant influence on the caterers to buy from the rice farmer include availability of storage
facility, farmer‟s willingness to process the paddy rice and sell on credit, price of milled rice, and proximity of
rice farmers. The major conclusion of the study is that the effect of the programme on rice farmers output was
not significant. This was attributed to poor linkage between the farmers and the programme even though about
100 percent of rice consumed by the GSFP is produced locallyImproving nutrition in Goa: Trends in outcomes, determinants and intervention...

Community-Based Agricultural Interventions in the Context of Food
Community-Based Agricultural Interventions in the Context of Food School Vegetable Gardening - Victory Gardens
This document reviews community-based agricultural interventions for food and nutrition security in South Africa. It finds that while South Africa is food secure at a national level, many people experience food insecurity and malnutrition due to poverty. Home gardening and small-scale food production have potential to address this by improving access to nutritious foods. Successful models in other countries emphasize year-round production of a variety of vegetables and fruits in home gardens. However, interventions must consider local context and challenges like water scarcity. Overall, the document argues that community-based agricultural projects can make an important contribution to household nutrition if done through integrated programs.Global hunger index dr.shrikant kalaskar
The document summarizes the Global Hunger Index (GHI), which measures and tracks hunger globally using three indicators: undernourishment, child underweight, and child mortality. The GHI ranks countries on a 100-point scale based on these indicators. In 2012, 20 countries had alarming or extremely alarming hunger levels according to the GHI. While global hunger has declined since 1990 according to the GHI, it remains serious at a score of 14.7. South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest hunger levels. The document also discusses how land, water, and energy scarcity pose challenges to ensuring sustainable food security.

COVID-19 and its Impact on Childhood Malnutrition and Nutrition-related Morta...International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
Derek Headey and Marie Ruel from IFPRI presented on the impacts of COVID-19 on childhood malnutrition and nutrition-related mortality. They found that economic contractions from COVID-19 prevention measures can significantly increase risks of child wasting. Using DHS data from 52 countries from 1990-2018, they estimated that a 10% decline in GNI could increase moderate or severe child wasting by 14%. They also explored mechanisms like impacts on child diets, disease rates, and maternal nutrition. Applying their model to Ethiopia, they estimated that a 5.5% GNI decline could result in over 70,000 additional moderately or severely wasted children. They discussed the need for unprecedented social protection and nutrition programs to mitigate impacts on childUgnayang Bayan 2015 - UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food

This document discusses food and nutrition security in the Philippines and the government's efforts to ensure the right to food. It provides an overview of global and national hunger indicators and reviews the legal framework and a study on right to food assessment in the Philippines. The government's strategies in the Philippine Development Plan focus on raising agricultural productivity, increasing investments in food value chains, and transforming agricultural households. The plan also aims to reduce malnutrition by focusing on at-risk groups, increasing food supply and access, and strengthening coordination between agencies.Transforming Agri-food Systems in Asia and the Pacific
Transforming Agri-food Systems in Asia and the PacificInternational Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI)
This document summarizes strategies for transforming agri-food systems in Asia and the Pacific to improve human and planetary health. It finds that multiple burdens of malnutrition persist in the region and progress is not on track to meet SDG targets. Reshaping agri-food systems through policies, institutions, technologies, and cross-sector collaboration is crucial. Specific recommendations include reforming subsidies and taxes to incentivize nutritious foods, strengthening women's empowerment and land rights, investing in nutrition-sensitive technologies, and using evidence from projects like one examining food systems in Papua New Guinea to inform policy.Food and Nutrition Security in Brazil
Brazil has significantly reduced hunger and malnutrition over the past decade through policies prioritizing food and nutrition security since 2003. Key policies include the Zero Hunger strategy, Bolsa Familia conditional cash transfers, and supporting family farms which now produce 70% of food consumed domestically. Legal frameworks strengthened and coordination between government agencies also helped reduce undernourishment below 5%, meeting UN development goals. Continued efforts aim to further support vulnerable groups and ensure all Brazilians' right to adequate food.
Improving nutrition as a developmt priority full
In all four study countries - Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Uganda - undernutrition remains highly prevalent but has not been effectively prioritized by governments as a development issue. While these countries have established policies and coordination bodies for nutrition, they have seen little success in shifting resources toward reducing undernutrition. Across the countries, undernutrition is generally not viewed as threatening government legitimacy or invoking crisis. As a result, political will and investment for addressing undernutrition remains low. Effective nutrition advocacy coalitions are largely absent, representing a key constraint to building greater government commitment to assisting the undernourished.
Andhra Pradesh Priorities: Nutrition - Subramanian
- India's state of Andhra Pradesh has seen economic growth but still struggles with malnutrition. The state government launched a Nutrition Mission to improve nutrition during the first 1000 days of life but coverage remains low.
- Two potential solutions are analyzed: direct nutrition interventions like counseling, supplementary food, and supplements; and community-based treatment of severe acute malnutrition using therapeutic foods.
- Costs per beneficiary are estimated at Rs. 12,885 for direct interventions and Rs. 5,287-12,371 for malnutrition treatment. Benefits include increased productivity and reduced mortality and morbidity, with benefit-cost ratios of around 9 for direct interventions but only 2-7.5 for malnutrition treatment.
An Assessment on Food Security in Developing Economies-Problems and Policy In...
This document discusses food security in developing economies and policy initiatives to address it. It begins by defining food security as access to sufficient nutritious food. Over 800 million people in developing countries lack adequate food. Food security indicators measure availability, access, and utilization. The FAO reported that in 2010-2012, almost 870 million people were undernourished, with higher rates in developing countries. India has added 30 million hungry people since the 1990s and 46% of children are underweight. The document examines food security challenges and measures in developing economies and the US, and initiatives by UN agencies to improve global food security.
Levels and Trends in Child Malnutrition - UNICEF, WHO, Worldbank - 2014
UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank released an updated joint dataset on child malnutrition indicators (stunting, wasting, severe wasting, overweight and underweight) and new global & regional estimates for 2013 with 95% confidence intervals in September 2014 through an interactive dashboard.
Some selected findings:
- 161 million children are stunted, down from 257 million in 1990.
- Undernutrition contributes to half of all deaths in children under 5 and is widespread in Asia and Africa.
- Boys are more likely to be stunted than girls in most countries.
- 43 million children under 5 are overweight globally (as of 2011), a 54% increase from 1990
Levels and trends in child malnutrition
Globally in 2013, 161 million children under 5 were stunted, 51 million were wasted, and 42 million were overweight. The prevalence of stunting and underweight has decreased since 2000 but trends are rising for overweight. Over half of stunted children live in Asia while over 1/3 live in Africa. For wasting, about 2/3 live in Asia and 1/3 in Africa. The report provides details on methodology, data sources, and interactive dashboards containing malnutrition estimates from 1990-2013.
Whatisfoodsecurity 101230065514-phpapp02
The document discusses food security policies in Ghana over the past decade. It defines food security as access to sufficient nutritious food. A 2009 survey found that 34%, 10%, and 15% of people in Ghana's northern regions experienced food insecurity. To address this, Ghana implemented emergency measures like input subsidies during the 2007 global food crisis. It also pursued longer-term policies including the Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy, National Social Protection Strategy programs like LEAP and school feeding, and initiatives to boost domestic food production. However, the document concludes that more remains to be done to achieve food security goals.

The document presents findings from the Global Food Security Index (GFSI) and discusses threats to global food security. It finds that after several years of improvement, global food security declined over the past year due to factors like rising food prices and migration. Climate change and natural resource depletion further threaten food security by increasing exposure, sensitivity and reducing resilience. International collaboration is needed to address these challenges and work towards the UN's goal of ending hunger by 2030.

Willingness of Local Rice Producers to Supply and Participate in the Ghana Sc...International Journal of Economics and Financial Research
The government of Ghana is not an exception with regards to putting in place measures that aim to improve the lives and livelihoods of its citizenry including the welfare of school children. In the context of the New Partnership for Africa Development (NEPAD’s) Comprehensive African Development Programme (CADP), the Government of Ghana (GoG) set-up the Ghana School Feeding Programme (GSFP). Its concept of home grown school feeding addresses one of the United Nation’s (UN’s) three pillars to fight hunger (United Nations, 2005). ‘The government of Ghana was of the view that the if the School Feeding Programme was properly funded and implemented, the hunger, education and the food security and poverty landscape in Ghana will change for good (Government of Ghana, 2006). The study investigates the factors determining GSFP caterer’s choice to buy local rice from farmers and farmers’ factors influencing rice farmers to supply to the caterers. Purposive sampling was mainly used to select 120 respondents from GSFP beneficiary communities. The respondents were made of up 80 farmers and 40 GSFP caterers from the four selected districts. The study revealed that 46% % of rice farmers have access to the market created by the Ghana school Feeding Programme and about 48% of this group are able to sell their rice produce to the caterers of GSFP. However majority of the rice farmers are aware of the existence of the programme without any proper rules of engagement except that less than half of the farmers have been linked up with programme with the support of World Food Programme and the Netherlands Development Organisation (SNV), operating in the Northern Region. The major problem associated with rice farmers accessibility to the GSFP is caterers’ unwillingness to buy from them even though majority of the farmers are aware of the programme and its basic of objective of providing free meals to pupils in basic schools. Farmers indicated they would be willing to sell to the caterers if the prices offered by caterers are good or if they are able to produce enough to meet the demand of caterers on termly basis or the caterer is more willing to pay them in cash when they purchase their rice or other farm produce or better still be willing to pay on time for a period not more than one month when they buy on credit. The probit model was used to analyse the factors influencing rice farmers to supply to the programme on one hand and the factors affecting caterer’s decision to purchase rice from the rice farmers on the other.MALABO FOOD SECURITY AND NUTRITION COMMITMENTS: DATA AND RESEARCH GAPS

Private Sector Policy Brief
This document discusses opportunities for public-private engagement to improve diets in low and middle-income countries. It notes that traditionally diets in these countries relied heavily on starchy staples but are shifting toward ultra-processed foods, contributing to undernutrition and obesity. The private sector plays a large role in shaping food systems and diets through food processing, product development, and influencing consumer demand. The document provides examples of partnerships and social enterprises that work to develop and provide more nutritious foods, especially through fortification. It argues that governments and the private sector should collaborate in innovative ways like partnerships, co-usage of resources, and supporting small businesses, startups and disruptive technologies, to ensure all people can access safe

Competitive African Rice Initiative
Ghana and other African countries like Nigeria and Burkina Faso have seen success with increasing rice productivity and improving family nutrition through CARI projects. 17 projects have been implemented so far across the region engaging over 75,000 farmers and leveraging $4.3 million in partner investments. Studies in Ghana found that rice producing households consumed rice but lacked intake of vitamin A and iron rich foods, showing the need to address both agricultural productivity and nutrition. CARI projects aim to do this through improving rice yields, diversifying crops, boosting income, teaching better farming and storage techniques, and providing family nutrition training.

This document discusses climate change, food and nutrition security in EU development cooperation policy. It lists countries where food security is a focal sector for 2014-2020 EU Aid. It outlines strategic priorities such as stunting reduction, resilience to food crises, and sustainable agriculture. It also discusses two EU-funded programs: FIRST, which provides policy assistance on food/nutrition security and sustainable agriculture; and national information platforms on nutrition, which strengthen data and analysis in six high-stunting countries.
Tom Arnold at CFS 42 Side Event 2015
The document discusses the need for climate-smart food systems to enhance nutrition given that climate change will reduce agricultural output by 2% per decade while food demand rises by 14%. Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, which already have high malnutrition, will be most severely impacted. A pro-nutrition approach to climate-smart agriculture is needed to ensure diverse, healthy diets globally. Solutions include promoting nutrient-rich crops, integrating nutrition into climate practices, and protecting poor populations' access to quality diets.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC Charlotte
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

Contributi dei parlamentari del PD - Contributi L. 3/2019
DI SEGUITO SONO PUBBLICATI, AI SENSI DELL'ART. 11 DELLA LEGGE N. 3/2019, GLI IMPORTI RICEVUTI DALL'ENTRATA IN VIGORE DELLA SUDDETTA NORMA (31/01/2019) E FINO AL MESE SOLARE ANTECEDENTE QUELLO DELLA PUBBLICAZIONE SUL PRESENTE SITO
Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.
