Minimum dietary diversity for women survey

The survey highlighted the food consumption of women of reproductive age in Activity areas. Overall, 55% of the respondents in the 26 townships survey had consumed at least five of the 10 food groups. It is to note that the surveyed townships experienced ongoing conflicts, drought, flood, rising cost of common food items which might have affected the household’s ability to access diverse foods, hence, the decreased in diversity score from previous year by 24%, a similar trend from a recent report conducted by IFPRI (MAPSA, 2023).
