SPRING’s extensive fieldwork studied nutrient-rich value chain commodities (NRVCC) that direct beneficiaries produce and set aside for home consumption.
From April to October 2015, SPRING conducted field research to develop data collection guidance for a new Feed the Future nutrition-sensitive agriculture indicator. This annual reporting indicator is intended to track a required if applicable outcome related to consumption of nutrient-rich value chain commodities (NRVCC) by direct beneficiary households.
From September 16 to October 2, 2015, SPRING conducted the fieldwork component of a nutrition needs assessment in Sierra Leone to contribute to post Ebola virus disease (EVD) response efforts. The SPRING team conducted interviews with agriculture and health service providers, community members, market vendors, and mothers. SPRING’s assessment focused on understanding key contributors to undernutrition and documenting the ways the EVD outbreak impacted agriculture, food, health, and nutrition services.
