The Government of Cameroon, with technical assistance from WFP, undertook the FNG analysis in an effort to reduce malnutrition. Multisectoral stakeholders were mobilized and consensus was reached on how to improve the availability and affordability of nutritious diets. The FNG analysis is composed of two components: a comprehensive secondary review of the food system and supporting systems, and a quantitative analysis using Cost of the Diet (CotD) software. CotD enables the FNG to estimate the lowest-cost diet that meets nutritional needs using local foods for each of the 10 regions of Cameroon, calculates the affordability of that diet for the population, and models the impact of various interventions across sectors. The analysis provides entry points for how multiple sectors can support nutrition and increase access to nutritious diets.
