| What tool was used to measure household food insecurity in CNSG? | the tool (eighteen questions) developed by USAID’s Food and Nutritional Technical Assistance (FANTA) project | In CNSG, household food insecurity was measured using the tool (eighteen questions) developed by USAID’s Food and Nutritional Technical Assistance (FANTA) project (Coates et al, 2007). This eighteen question module was used in this survey asking the respondents to describe behaviors and attitudes that relate to a) feeling of uncertainty or anxiety over food, b) perceptions that food is of insufficient quality, c) perceptions that food is of insufficient quantity and d) reported reductions of food intake.

| What time period is considered crucial for improving a child's future nutritional status? | The first 1000 days of life, from conception until the age of two years | The first 1000 days of life, from conception until the age of two years, is a critical window of opportunity for improving a child’s future nutritional status. A child’s future nutritional wellbeing begins before conception and is greatly dependent on the mother’s nutritional status prior to and during pregnancy. Poor maternal pre-pregnancy nutritional status coupled with a suboptimal dietary intake and care during pregnancy and lactation, leads to decreased offspring birth weight and elevated risk of a child undernutrition, especially stunting. Stunted children, in turn, are at a higher risk of developing chronic diseases later in life, and deliver low birth weight babies, perpetuating or even deepening the intergenerational vicious cycle of under nutrition. This chapter describes the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the mothers. | 0 | definition | 1.000 | The first 1000 days of life, from conception until the age of two years, is a critical window of opportunity for improving a child’s future nutritional status. | 57 | page=57,ocr=1 | 0.700 | |
