SEWOH Enhanced Resilience Baseline Survey Report

10 Nutrition Baseline Surveys in Africa & Asia―Results, Interpretations, Recommendations

Nutrition status surveys are not new. This study is unique because of its geographic and cultural scale. Questions around the design of interventions that fitted different countries needed to be tackled, paying attention to the fact that there are unique settings in each country. The program has the challenging ambition to measure the results of their interventions with comparable indicators and values.

In June 2016, GIZ contracted Bioversity International to prepare a summary report of the ten Nutrition Baseline Surveys with the objective:

  • To synthesize ten country reports from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Togo and Zambia into a summary report of findings, conclusions and global level recommendations as well as to compare results in regional clusters

  • To review reports of the project interventions in each country and provide a review of the coherence between baseline indicators and planned interventions, and suggest potential alterations or adjustments to planned interventions.

  • In addition, Bioversity was asked to calibrate the Food Insecurity Experience Scale – Household Level (FIES-H) indicator from each country to the FAO global standard.
