One of the objectives of the Feed the Future (FTF) Innovation Lab for Food Security Policy (FSP) project is to foster credible, inclusive, transparent and sustainable policy processes at country level. As part of the monitoring and evaluation framework of FSP, the project has proposed two qualitative indicators to assess and track the institutional architecture and quality of policy processes on agriculture and food security in FTF countries where the project has major country level activities. Zambia is one of the countries where the FSP project has such activities. This dataset represents the baseline survey conducted in 2016 to assess and monitor: 1) the quality of agriculture and food security policy processes in Zambia, and 2) quality of the institutional architecture for agriculture and food security policy processes, as measured by stakeholder evaluation survey to capture the level of satisfaction and confidence. There are 23 observations of 88 variables in this dataset.

One of the objectives of the Feed the Future (FTF) Innovation Lab for Food Security Policy (FSP) project is to foster credible, inclusive, transparent and sustainable policy processes at country level. As part of the monitoring and evaluation framework of FSP, the project has proposed two contextual qualitative indicators to assess and track the institutional architecture and quality of policy processes on agriculture and food security in FTF countries where the project has major country level activities. Tanzania is one of the countries where the FSP project has such activities. This dataset represents a survey conducted in 2019 to assess and monitor: 1) the quality of agriculture and food security policy processes in Tanzania, and 2) quality of the institutional architecture for agriculture and food security policy processes, as measured by stakeholder evaluation survey to capture the level of satisfaction and confidence. This is a follow up survey to a similar survey conducted in 2016 to better understand any changes over the past three years.

This asset contains performance information on specific policy actions that could be associated with specific members of partner governments including those with whom FTF’s bilateral Missions and Posts regularly interact. Particularly in instances where policy actions were behind schedule or not taken, making such information public could have significant negative impacts on USAID relationships with host-government counterparts, thereby interfering with USAID's ability to effectively discharge responsibilities related to those relationships. Feed the Future was launched in 2010 to address global hunger and food insecurity. The aim was to give families and communities in some of the world’s poorest countries the freedom and opportunity to lift themselves out of food insecurity and malnutrition. Specifically Feed the Future helps partner countries to:  Improve agricultural production and markets and create new opportunities for security and prosperity  Strengthen the resilience of communities to shocks that can lead to famine and political unrest  Reduce hunger and improve nutrition, especially among mothers and children  Increase the exchange of ideas, technologies and products that benefit citizens at home and communities abroad

Feed the Future (FTF) initiative in Ghana is a collaborative effort that supports country-owned processes and plans for improving food security and nutrition, particularly in the northern part of the country. These datasets cover the interim survey that took place in 2015 and was designed as a follow-up to the baseline survey that happened from 2012 to 2013. The survey covered a range of indicators organized around four groups: (1) economic well-being; (2) women and children anthropometry; (3) hunger and diet diversity; and (4) women's empowerment. The survey design involved two stages in which enumeration areas were selected followed by households. Data was collected in a face-to-face fashion using well-designed questionnaires and other study materials.

The objective of the Zambia Feed the Future program is to reduce poverty in targeted rural areas and improve nutrition-related health status. To meet its objectives, Feed the Future made core investments in four key areas: (1) oilseeds, legumes, maize, and horticulture value chains; (2) enabling environment through analysis and advocacy to improve agriculture policy; (3) economic resilience by improving household-level food security and ensuring gender equity; and (4) improving nutrition through a combination of scaling up nutrition efforts and strengthened health and nutrition systems. The Zone of Influence interim assessment is designed for use as a monitoring tool, and as such provides point estimates of the indicators with an acceptable level of statistical precision.
