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.

Processing food consumption data from household consumption and expenditure surveys (HCES)
Guidelines for countries collecting data in line with the United Nations Statistical Commission-endorsed guidelines on food data collection in HCES

The food data processing guidelines presented in this document provide some basic principles to adopt when transforming the food data collected in household consumption and expenditure surveys (HCES) to data ready for poverty or food security analysis (among other things). The goal is to enable more and more timely, consistent and reliable statistics derived from food consumption data, while also improving the quality and transparency of data processing.The first part presents food consumption modules and provides some useful principles and general methods to consider before starting work. The analyst needs to assess the data collection tools and other available information before embarking on processing the data. Furthermore, the analyst should decide on the overall approach to cleaning the data.The second part provides a step-by-step description of food data processing, following 11 steps that describe how to bring the food consumption data from its raw form, as collected in the survey, to transformed data ready to be used for statistical analysis. The document was produced under the aegis of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Food Security, Agricultural and Rural Statistics (UN-CEAG), which reports to the United Nations Statistical Commission. It was prepared by members of the UN-CEAG task team on food security and consumption statistics, and with several rounds of consultation with a large group of experts from national statistical offices, international organisations and academia.
