The FNG process began at the end of 2020 with virtual multistakeholder inception meetings followed in January 2021 by a series of in-person engagements in Namibia among the key partners involved. After primary data was collected and Consumer Price Index (CPI) food price data was prepared by the technical team, the analysis and subsequent modelling of interventions was conducted between February and June. The minimum cost of energy-sufficient and nutritious diets was estimated from CPI food prices (January 2021) and primary price data collected from 25 remote locations across the country. Expenditure data from the Namibia Households Income and Expenditure Survey of 2015– 2016 was used to assess the extent to which Namibian households are able to access these diets.
