Synopsis (short abstract) This brochure is one output from a two-year Technical Cooperation Programme Project, on strenghtening the national capacities of Pacific Island Countries to monitor Sustainable Development Goals Target 2.1 using information collected in their most recent or ongoing national Household Income and Expenditure Survey. Country profiles on the State of food security and nutrition in each of the targeted countries aims to exploit as much as possible the food data collected in the Household Income and Expenditure Survey, to derive indicators on food security and nutrition at national level that could inform policies aiming at fighting root causes of Non Communicable Diseases. The Food Security Profile also provides a wealth of information on dietary energy consumption, food sources, food costs and nutritional adequacy of the Marshallese. The production of the Food Security Profile was a joint collaboration between the Marshall Islands Economic Policy Planning and Statistics Office, the Pacific Community and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.

    Food consumption in the Marshall Islands
    Based on analysis of the 2019/20 Household Income and Expenditure Survey

    This report presents the main results derived from the analysis of the food data collected in the 2019/20 HIES to inform current patterns on food and nutrient consumption in Marshall Islands. The analysis of the food insecurity experience scale data collected in the 2019/20 HIES reveals that more than one household in three is experiencing moderate or severe levels of food insecurity, which means they are lacking money or other resources to access foods in enough quantity or of good quality. The further analysis of the food data collected in the same survey finds that for around 5 percent of Marshallese, their dietary intake is lower than their basic dietary needs to maintain a normal active and healthy life. Whenever possible, indicators are given at national level and for sub-groups of the population.

    Statistical Capacity Country Profile for SDG Indicators (Marshall Islands)
    Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG Indicators 2018/19
    2019
    Also available in:
    The Office of the Chief Statistician (OCS) conducted the Statistical Capacity Assessment for the FAO-relevant SDG indicators in early 2019 to provide insights about member countries' national statistical systems in regard to their capacity to monitor and report the 21 SDG indicators under FAO custodianship. The survey collected information on the national coordination mechanisms for the SDG reporting, current data availability and plans for filling data gaps, and needs for technical assistance. The respondents were mainly the National Coordinators for SDG Monitoring or the SDG focal points nominated by the Directors General of National Statistics Offices. The results will assist FAO-HQ and decentralized offices in designing targeted interventions and mobilizing resources to support countries in collecting, analyzing and using the SDG indicators in decision-making.
