How IFPRI researchers under TNWA carried out research and analysis to inform policy and program decisions ? Stories of Change studies in #Burkina_Faso, #Ghana, and #Nigeria to increase the understanding of how multisectoral approaches can be successful in addressing specific nutrition problems. TNWA’s study in #Ghana examined the differences between approaches to child stunting and anemia reduction and outstanding challenges. The study helped drive increased attention to stunting at the highest level of decision-making by the Ghana Health Service. 👉 https://bit.ly/3FpNY0g Tamsin Z., Roos Verstraeten, Ampa Dogui DIATTA, Loty Diop, Mariama Touré, Elodie Becquey, Rock Zagré, Talla FALL, Aboubacar Hema, Abdourahmane SY, Insa Diop, John Franck B.

Saviez vous que près de 65 % des personnes exposées à une grave #insécurité_alimentaire dans le monde vivent dans des pays touchés par des #conflits. Dans cet #article, Steven Were Omamo, Directeur de l’Unité Stratégies de Développement et Gouvernance de l’IFPRI et Directeur de l'IFPRI pour l'Afrique, décrit six canaux à travers lesquels les #conflits génèrent la #faim et propose un programme de recherche pour explorer et résoudre ces problèmes.

🌍 Strengthening Food Security in West Africa 🌾 To better understand and address food security challenges in #West_Africa, our recent study consolidates data from national household surveys in #Mali, #Chad, #Niger, and #Burkina_Faso. Conducted twice a year, these surveys capture essential information on household food security and coping strategies. By standardizing variables and re-computing key indicators, we provide consistent and reliable data that supports the Cadre Harmonisé process. Together, we can make a difference!
