Consuming Urban Poverty Survey 2016-2017 - Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe

Abstract
---------------------------

The Consuming Urban Poverty (CUP) project - based at the University of Cape Town’s African Centre for Cities - sought to generate an understanding of the connections between poverty, governance, urban space, and food. CUP research focused on secondary cities in three countries: Kisumu, Kenya; Kitwe, Zambia; and Epworth, Zimbabwe.The research included three quantitative surveys: A retail mapping exercise, a food vendor and retailer survey, and a household survey. Over 2,200 households and 1,200 food retailers were interviewed (between April 2016 and February 2017) in the three secondary cities. In addition, nearly 4,500 traders were mapped as part of a retailer census in these cities. The surveys examined the nature of the urban food system and the experience of food poverty. Qualitative in-depth interviews were also carried out in households across the three cities. A qualitative reverse value chain assessment was also undertaken, which traced five key food items (aligned to the food groups of protein, staple, vegetable, traditional food item and snack food) from the point of consumption to origin (or a point where no further information was available) in each city.

摘要
---------------------------
《消费型城市贫困》（CUP）项目，依托于开普敦大学非洲城市研究中心，旨在探究贫困、治理、城市空间与食物之间的关联。CUP研究聚焦于三个国家的次级城市：肯尼亚的基苏木、赞比亚的基特韦和津巴布韦的埃普沃斯。研究包括三项定量调查：一项零售映射练习、一项食品摊贩和零售商调查以及一项家庭调查。在2016年4月至2017年2月期间，对三个次级城市中的2200余户家庭和1200家食品零售商进行了访谈。此外，这些城市中的近4500名商贩也被纳入零售普查中。调查考察了城市食品系统的本质和食物贫困的体验。在三个城市的家庭中也进行了定性深度访谈。还进行了一次定性逆向价值链评估，追踪了五个关键食品项目（与蛋白质、主食、蔬菜、传统食品和零食食品组相对应）从消费点到每个城市的起源点（或信息不再可用之处）。
