Virtual event: Food Prices for Nutrition in Malawi: Methods and results on the cost, affordability, and seasonality of nutritious diets
Date: Thursday, April 15, 2021
Time: 03:00 pm (SAST)
Join the Food Prices for Nutrition team and our collaborators for an introduction to our diet cost metrics and results from recent research in Malawi. Highlights will include results on cost and affordability of healthy diets, as well as seasonality of nutritious diets and rural/urban differences in food prices in Malawi. We will also share information about forthcoming tools and opportunities to engage further with the Food Prices for Nutrition project.
Food Prices for Nutrition is led by the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, in partnership with the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the World Bank International Comparison Program (ICP) Global Office. Food Prices for Nutrition aims to scale up use of new diet cost metrics, used in the UN State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2020 report. This project follows its predecessors which you may be familiar with, Changing Access to Nutritious Diets in Africa and South Asia (CANDASA) and Indicators of Affordability for Nutritious Diets in Africa (IANDA).
