MIND THE GAP: Using diet cost and affordability metrics to inform food security and nutrition-sensitive social protection

Global Food and Nutrition Security

Through 12 case studies, this report examines how the Fill the Nutrient Gap (FNG) analyses can be leveraged to enhance the ability of national social protection systems in addressing the affordability gaps of nutritious diets.

Social protection systems are vital for supporting vulnerable populations but often overlook their nutritional needs, missing opportunities to advance SDG 2 amid rising hunger since 2015. Amid such challenges, the Mind the Gap report explores the role of social protection systems in addressing affordability gaps of nutritious diets, structured around the FNG analytical approach.
