Nutrient Adequacy Analysis for Nutrition-Sensitive Agrifood Systems under the Kampala CAADP Declaration. AKADEMIYA 2063 Brief #13
Global Food and Nutrition Security

Achieving the food and nutrition security targets of the Kampala CAADP Declaration requires robust, context–specific evidence. Micronutrient deficiencies remain a critical but under–measured challenge in many African countries. This brief presents an approach to nutrient adequacy analysis based on household consumption data as a practical tool for identifying gaps in nutrient intake and supporting targeted nutrition interventions.

The approach provides forward–looking, actionable insights for policymakers, planners, and other stakeholders. Analysis of nutrient adequacy gaps in 12 countries demonstrates that patterns differ not only across but within countries. The responsiveness of household nutrient demand to changes in incomes and food prices also differs by nutrient and country. These findings highlight the need for detailed data and evidence to guide context-specific interventions.
