Key findings

Between 2015 and 2016, the cost of the nutritious diet decreased by 10%, based only
n price variation (same foods list)
Having a broader list of foods including nutritious vegetables and legumes decreased

the cost of the nutritious diet by 30 %

The cost of the nutritious diet for a 4 member household is 29% more expensive in

the BA region than in the Northern region.

Key findings

For the child (6-23 months) provision of locally produced Kidifeed (voucher), Super

Cerealplus and SQ-LNS (Grownut) (voucher) were the most effective in reducing the cost of a nutritious diet, by an average in both regions of 84%, 82% and 60%, respectively, indicating that they are very good sources of essential nutrients.

For the adolescent girl, the fresh food voucher for eggs and green leafy vegetables

was the most cost-effective (average of 30% cost reduction in both regions), which is explained by their relatively high content of calcium, iron and B12, which are limiting nutrients.

For lactating women, SC interventions (SC, SC+ and SC with fortified oil) were the

most cost-effective and even more so when SC was modelled added to a diet that included one serving of staple. On average, provision of SuperCereal for free (using a voucher) reduced the cost of a nutritious diet for lactating women by 50% in both regions.

Key findings

For the Obaasima products, the analysis found them to be less cost-effective to meet

nutrient requirements compared to other options, which is due to the fact that their content of specific nutrients, including pantothenic acid, iron and vitamin B12, was lower than that of the other fortified options (SC, SC+, SC/oil) included in the model.

Among the three products, the Lola Milk Biscuit performed better, indicating that it was

a more cost-effective source of essential nutrients. Besides nutrient content and cost, acceptability and actual amount consumed by the intended targeted group are also important determinants of whether a specific food will be able to make a good contribution to improving nutrient intake.

Consumption of Obaasima products is likely to make a meaningful contribution to

meeting nutrient intake requirements even when it has a lower content of certain micronutrients than other foods that consumers may or may not prefer over those

products. Nevertheless, it would be good to consider increasing the content of the

specific micronutrients for which content is relatively low.
