Baseline Nigeria – NG 04 – Katsina – Decembre 2010

This Household Economy Analysis (HEA) study was initiated to support SC UK’s hunger reduction strategy in northern Nigeria. The study also provided capacity building: the field team comprised SC UK local partners, all of whom were new to HEA. Team members were drawn from health and development sectors, reflecting the need to analyse the root causes of malnutrition through an economic as well as a nutritional lens. The training course took 12 days and was implemented from 1 – 13 November 2010. The HEA (food access) study complemented two other research studies: the SMART (nutritional status) survey and the Cost of Diet (food affordability) survey.
