Ghana, Savelugu-Nanton Household Survey Dataset, 2004

In 2000, UNICEF-Ghana and IFPRI agreed upon a program of action research to evaluate the scope for food-based strategies to reduce micronutrient undernutrition in Ghana. The food-based strategies were planned as one component of UNICEF’s broader Integrated Community Based Development (ICBD) program. Although UNICEF had been operating its ICBD program in other districts, the food-based micronutrient strategies were first introduced as part of the ICBD program in Savelugu/Nanton District. The 2004 Savelugu/Nanton Household Survey was collected by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with the Food and Nutrition Security Unit (FNSU) at the University for Development Studies (UDS), which is based in Tamale, northern Ghana. It is a cross-sectional survey that, when paired with the baseline survey conducted in 2001, formed the basis for an IFPRI-led impact evaluation of interventions sponsored by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to increase the micronutrient content of young children’s diets. The 2001 baseline household and community survey is also available from IFPRI at this link.

2000年，联合国儿童基金会加纳办事处（UNICEF-Ghana）与国际食物政策研究所（IFPRI）商定开展一项行动研究项目，以评估以食物为基础的策略在加纳减少微量营养素营养不良方面的适用范围。此类以食物为基础的策略被规划为联合国儿童基金会更广泛的以社区为基础的综合发展（Integrated Community Based Development, ICBD）项目的组成部分。尽管联合国儿童基金会已在其他地区推行ICBD项目，但以食物为基础的微量营养素策略首次作为ICBD项目的一部分，在萨韦卢古/南顿（Savelugu/Nanton）地区推出。2004年萨韦卢古/南顿家庭调查数据集由国际食物政策研究所（IFPRI）与位于加纳北部塔马利的发展研究大学（University for Development Studies, UDS）的粮食与营养保障单元（Food and Nutrition Security Unit, FNSU）合作采集。该调查为横断面调查，与2001年实施的基线调查相结合后，成为由国际食物政策研究所（IFPRI）主导的影响评估的基础，该评估针对联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）资助的、旨在提升幼儿膳食微量营养素含量的干预措施。研究人员可通过此链接获取IFPRI公开的2001年家庭与社区基线调查数据集。
