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.

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
