1. Evidence & Policy Dialogue to Facilitate Africa-wide Domestication & Implementation KAMPALA CAADP SERIES Nutrient Adequacy Analysis for Nutrition- Sensitive Agrifood Systems Under the Kampala CAADP Declaration January 29, 2026 12:00 – 13:30 GMT Online John Ulimwengu, IFPRI Julia Collins, AKADEMIYA2063
2. Evidence & Policy Dialogue to Facilitate Africa-wide Domestication & Implementation KAMPALA CAADP SERIES Nutrient adequacy analysis: • Addressing micronutrient deficiencies (hidden hunger) is a key component in ensuring food and nutrition security • Patterns vary by nutrient and by area; data is severely limited • We estimate the adequacy of nutrient intake for energy, protein, and 11 micronutrients – & responsiveness to income and price changes – based on household survey data
