Description

Under the auspices of the ANH Conference, the African Economic Research Consortium (www.aercafrica.org) will feature a breakfast briefing session on four research projects on: Analysis of the Impacts of Agricultural and Food Policies for Nutrition Outcomes in Africa (AFPON) that are being implemented by AERC with support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

The AFPON project that was launched in October 2017 seeks to contribute to the recent interest in leveraging agricultural development for improving nutrition by exploring the link between agricultural policies and nutrition outcomes in Africa. It seeks to understand, among other things, how policies affecting differential access to productive resources, such as land, education, and finance affect the nutrition of individuals and households in African countries. Related to that is understanding how agricultural productivity, agricultural extension, and advisory services affect nutrition outcomes, and establishing the policies and practices that would best improve nutritional status.
