Ethiopian National Food Consumption Survey Child section

Ethiopia National Food Consumption Survey was conducted to investigate the food consumption pattern of the Ethiopian population to provide evidence-based information for National Food Fortification programs. The survey population was drawn from households randomly selected to be representative of all nine regions (Afar, Amhara, Benshangul-Gumuz, Gambella, Oromia, Somali, Southern Nations Nationalities and People’s, Tigray, Harari) and the two city administrations of Ethiopia (Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa). Data was collected from children aged 6-35 months. The upper age was extended to ensure sufficient children were available per cluster.
