This initiative, funded by Japan, aimed to enhance data collection and monitoring of food security and nutrition in Africa. It strengthened the capacity of national statistical offices to analyze food insecurity using standardized tools like the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES). The project contributed to SDG 2.1 by providing technical assistance, training government officials, and improving national food security indicators. Key activities included revising food consumption surveys, implementing pilot studies, and drafting comprehensive food security reports for participating countries.
