Synopsis (short abstract) 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 Kiribati. Based on this analysis around one I-Kiribati in 12 does not have access to the amount of dietary energy needed to maintain a normal, active and healthy life. This prevalence is further confirmed by the analysis of the food insecurity experience scale data collected in the KHIES, which found that one I-Kiribati in 12 spent a whole day without eating in the last 12 months. The data further reveals that one I-Kiribati in three had to compromise on the quality of the food they could access because of a lack of money or other resources. To develop the policies that will be needed to guide the country through the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, data are needed. Whenever possible, indicators are given at national level and for sub-groups of the population.

    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.

    This brochure is one output from a two-year Technical Cooperation Programme Project, on strenghtening the national capacities of Pacific Island Countries (PICs) to monitor SDG Target 2.1 using information collected in their most recent or ongoing national Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES). 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 HIES, 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 I-Kiribati. The production of the Food Security Profile was a joint collaboration between the Kiribati National Statistics Office, the Pacific Community (SPC) and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO).
