Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetCorrelates of consumption of animal source foods among children aged 6–23 month, adolescent girls aged 15–19 years and women of reproductive age in rural Malawi 2022
Also available in:
No results found.This paper assesses if the production of various food items translates to improved consumption of varied food groups using data from the annual knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) survey of 2020 which was conducted in ten districts of Chitipa, Karonga, Mzimba, Nkhatabay in the northern region, Nkhotakota, Salima, Kasungu in the central region, and Chiradzulu, Thyolo, Mulanje in the southern region of Malawi. It concludes that households meeting the minimum dietary diversity remain low and varied by region and that meeting the minimum dietary diversity was significantly correlated with production of various food items such as ownership of livestock and backyard farming, even after accounting for the other factors. The results further showed production of the various food items was associated with increased consumption of the food items except production of poultry or chicken which did not lead to consumption of eggs. -
Book (stand-alone)Mapping and profiling assessment of apex farmer organizations engaged in agribusiness in the Kulima/Afikepo action districts in Malawi 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Farmer organizations are critical in enhancing agribusinesses at the community level. Among their benefits, they ease access to extension services for increased agricultural productivity, facilitate market linkages and integration in global value chains and act as centres for agroprocessing and agriculture commercialization. This report provides a profile of and maps apex farmer organizations that are engaged in agribusiness in ten districts where FAO and its development partners are implementing the European Union-funded KULIMA and Afikepo programmes, in Malawi. -
ArticleFAO/WHO GIFT (Global Individual Food consumption data Tool): a global repository for harmonised individual quantitative food consumption studies 2019
Also available in:
No results found.Knowing who eats what, understanding the various eating habits of different population groups, according to the geographical area, is critical to develop evidence-based policies for nutrition and food safety. The FAO/WHO Global Individual Food consumption data Tool (FAO/WHO GIFT) is a novel open-access online platform, hosted by FAO and supported by WHO, providing access to harmonised individual quantitative food consumption (IQFC) data, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). FAO/WHO GIFT is a growing repository, which will serve as the global FAO/WHO hub to disseminate IQFC microdata. Currently five datasets from LMIC are available for dissemination, and an additional fifty datasets will be made available by 2022. To facilitate the use of these data by policy makers, ready-to-use food-based indicators are provided for an overview of key data according to population segments and food groups. FAO/WHO GIFT also provides an inventory of existing IQFC data worldwide, which currently contains detailed information on 188 surveys conducted in seventy-two countries. In order for end-users to be able to aggregate the available data, all datasets are harmonised with the European Food Safety Authority's food classification and description system FoodEx2 (modified for global use). This harmonisation is aimed at enhancing the consistency and reliability of nutrient intake and dietary exposure assessments. FAO/WHO GIFT is developed in synergy with other global initiatives aimed at increasing the quality, availability and use of IQFC data in LMIC to enable evidence-based decision-making and policy development for better nutrition and food safety
