Book Description
Conducting tablet-based field data collection with Survey Solutions is a joint initiative of the Asian Development Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations to support national statistics offices and t line ministries to develop human capacities to conduct tablet-based field data collections for official statistics in the Asia and Pacific region for more robust, accurate and timely data. The adoption of tablet-based data collection methods also referred to as Computer-assisted Personal Interviewing, is part of an overarching development in official statistics to adopt new cost-effective technologies to move from traditional pen-and-paper questionnaires to more cost-efficient, high quality and timely methods using electronic devices. This Handbook seeks to support this transition by providing step-by-step instruction and guidance to develop, test and run Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing field data collection using one of the free software’s currently available on the market – Survey Solutions.

Minimum dietary diversity for women
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251339937
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Women of reproductive age (WRA) are often nutritionally vulnerable because of the physiological demands of pregnancy and lactation. Requirements for most nutrients are higher for pregnant and lactating women than for adult men. The Minimum Dietary Diversity for WRA (MDD-W) indicator is a food-based diversity indicator that has been shown to reflect one key dimension of diet quality: micronutrient adequacy summarized across 11 micronutrients (Martin-Prével et al., 2015). Since the launch of the MDD-W indicator in 2015, new global developments and research conducted in three countries to further determine best practices in the data collection resulted in new information and guidelines. This research was supported by capacity-development activities on the assessment of individual food consumption.This publication is an update to the 2016 FAO/FHI 360 joint publication MDD-W: A Guide to Measurement. It includes guidance on the most accurate and valid methodologies on collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data on women’s dietary diversity, for use in research, impact assessment and large-scale, health and nutrition surveys such as the Demographic Health Survey (DHS), to generate nationally representative data, that are comparable over time and across countries.In addition to supporting the regular collection of high-quality dietary data following standardized methodologies, the publication also aims to promote dialogues on and appropriate application of the data towards informing policy and programming decisions and monitoring and evaluation of nutrition outcomes and progress at global, regional, and country levels.

Book Description
Digital technologies have rapidly changed how we bank, borrow and lend, commute, or order food. The scale of these changes, and the relatively low barriers for individuals to drive such systemic change, have raised great expectations for digital technologies to also impact health and healthcare globally. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the need for improved health data from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and the expectation for digital technologies to provide solutions.

Mapping women’s small-scale fisheries organizations in Ghana
Author: Smith, H.
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251357218
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Through the FAO-NORAD project, survey data was used to “map” women’s organizations and assess their present capacities and needs in the small-scale fisheries sector. Data collection for this study (herein referred to as the Women’s SSF Mapping Assessment) in Ghana focused on six regions: Western, Central, Eastern, Greater Accra, Volta and Oti. Across these regions, a total of 46 surveys were collected between 23 September and 5 November 2020 (for a full overview of the study methods, see Appendix 1). The results of this study and related recommendations for capacity enhancement activities were later validated by stakeholders at the National Inception and Consultative Workshop held on 20–23 April 2021 in Winneba in the Central region. The workshop was attended by 59 participants, including fish processors drawn from ten project communities; officers from the Fisheries Commission and other partner agencies, including the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and the Food Research Institute (CSIR-FRI); and civil society organizations and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Each of the ten communities were represented by two processors who participated in project-related surveys (e.g. the study’s baseline assessment) and a leader from at least one women’s small-scale fisheries group. In addition, women’s small-scale fisheries group leaders at the district, regional and national levels were also invited. In all, 30 fish processors and leaders participated in the validation process.

Public food grain storage facilities in Bangladesh: An assessment of functionality, repair needs, and alternative usage
Author: Kabir, Razin
Publisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 66
Book Description
Based on an extensive survey, this study assesses the current conditions of all three types of government owned warehouses: the silos, Central Storage Depots (CSDs), and Local Supply Depots (LSDs). Using a large team of civil engineers as enumerators, a detailed set of information is generated about the functionality, repair needs, as well as alternative uses of all public warehousing facilities. The data generated from the survey fed into the production of a user-friendly GIS database that encompasses the mapping of all storage facilities, along with functionality indicators and summary statistics from the survey. The comprehensive repair estimates generated in the course of this study, along with its supplementary GIS tool, can serve as important inputs to strategic policy decisions related to the public food grain storage system in the country.

Per capita rice consumption in Bangladesh: Available estimates and IFPRI’s validation survey results
Author: Yunus, Mohammad
Publisher: Intl Food Policy Res Inst
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
Accuracy of rice consumption estimates varies considerably, depending on the data source and survey techniques. Therefore, the report first compiles estimates of per capita daily consumption available from different published and unpublished sources. The accrued data were compared in conjunction with the ones found from a small validation survey conducted by the IFPRI-led JV in the summer of 2018. The methodology of the validation survey drew on strategies adopted by other nationally representative surveys, specifically the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) conducted by the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), and IFPRI’s own Bangladesh Integrated Household Survey (BIHS). Simultaneously, it employed a two-step approach for critically assessing the original survey instruments in contrast to the current consumption behaviors with rapid appraisal. The validation survey established pertinent findings related to changes in the per capita consumption assessments when new elements were incorporated. Addition of new hypotheses based on the consumption of rice and rice products outside the home provides a spin on the per capita consumption estimates generated by the validation survey. Overall, the review, assessment of alternative estimates, and results of this validation survey seek to aid the construction of significant strategic policy decisions related to the demand-supply balance of rice in the country.
