In this virtual event, hosted by IFPRI on April 30th, 2020, experts look at how developing countries can respond in ways that promote food security, nutrition, and equity. Senior Research Fellow Derek Headey also discusses how COVID-19 will further damage Myanmar's vulnerable groups through two main mechanisms: dietary quality and healthcare.
This section includes assessments on food security and nutrition of households in Myanmar based on the Myanmar Household Welfare Survey (MHWS). MHWS is a nationally and sub-nationally representative phone survey, conducted every 3-4 months on approximately 12,100 households. Assessments in this section will measure food security using a household hunger scale and food consumption score; and examine nutrition through the dietary quality of individuals.
