Overview of FNG

A healthy diet that meets nutrient requirements is a prerequisite for preventing malnutrition

• Continuation of Cost of

Hunger

• Aims to identify barriers to

adequate nutrient intake

• Pathway of “inadequate

access to nutritious foods” due to economic constraints

Malnutrition Inadequate access to food Inadequate diets Disease Inadequate care practices for children and women Insufficient health services and unhealthy environments Source: UNICEF 1990

Overview of the FNG

Consultations with stakeholders

• Information on Food Systems, Health

Systems, Social Protection Systems

• Databases, reports, peer-reviewed

articles

• Food prices,
• Household expenditure Survey
• Food Consumption Survey

Identify possible interventions & entry points Estimate minimum cost nutritious diet and economic accessibility, estimate of environmental footprint of diets

Intervention modelling by region

Secondary data analysis Are nutritious foods available, accessible & chosen for consumption? Cost of the Diet What does a nutritious diet cost & is it affordable? How much environmental footprint is there?

Why FNG

How have FNG results informed national processes?

• Pakistan, El Salvador,

Indonesia, Ecuador

• Ghana, Uganda,

Cambodia, Sri Lanka

• Madagascar,
• Pakistan, Tanzania,
• Mozambique

To (re)design government social protection policy to be more nutrition sensitive To align nutrition strategies of different actors at a national level; refugee camps; specific part of the country; specific programming To (re)design national nutrition policy, action plan and investment framework

Deliverables

In the form of a national report –

1. Minimum cost of a nutritious diet – regionally 2. Affordability of the cost among households 3. Environmental footprint of current and recommended diets 4. Evidence for –

• Aiding synergetic implementation among stakeholders in building

consensus on priority interventions and policy options

• Improve availability, access and affordability
• Promote shifts toward diets that mitigate climate and water crises while

meeting nutrient
