Summary
This trend analysis compares data from three food security and nutrition surveys: that of 2006, 2009 and 2013 to ascertain whether food insecurity and dietary diversity has improved over that time. It looks at provincial level data and compares findings by gender and wealth quintile as well as urban versus rural data, where possible. It demonstrates and explains trends in key food security indicators across the three surveys. Wherever possible, we have attempted to explain the underlying causes of these trends using data from the monitoring systems and market price information. As a first step in the process, data collection modules from all three years were closely examined to determine comparability. This included looking at questions, response options and recall periods. Despite the fact that not all the data collection modules were comparable from the three surveys, there were sufficient similar modules to be included in this trend analysis. There may however have been differences in data collection which could impact results. The 2006 survey did not allow for urban vs. rural disaggregation.
