Developing Innovative Nutrition Tools for Rapid Assessments

The Household Dietary Diversity Questionnaire (DDQ) and the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), can help pinpoint emerging food security and nutrition crisis before they reach acute stages and are useful for monitoring the impact of national nutritional policies and education programmes. FAO nutritionists have been adapting the tools to the Malawi context and local diets. They have been incorporated into the national nutritional survey conducted by the Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee (MVAC) with support from UNICEF.
