Four men discuss the harvest and the food shortage that always follows. A community advisor tells the men that they should discuss food consumption with their wives and divide the harvest into four parts: domestic consumption, seeds, health purposes, and other purposes. He also talks about the importance of dietary diversity for children. One man returns home and asks his wives for their ideas to avoid food shortage. The wives estimate the food consumed in a day, month, and year, and they agree to divide the food into four parts.

SPRING recently conducted a nutrition assessment in Guinea to contribute to post Ebola virus disease (EVD) response efforts. Before the Ebola outbreak, Guinea faced chronically high levels of undernutrition and food insecurity. About 26 percent of children 0-59 months are chronically malnourished in Guinea, and about one-third of the population is food insecure.
