Republic of the Marshall Islands Food Security Profile

This brochure is one output from a two-year Technical Cooperation Programme Project, on strengthening the national capacities of Pacific Island Countries to monitor Sustainable Development Goals Target 2.1 using information collected in their most recent or ongoing national Household Income and Expenditure Survey. Country profiles on the State of food security and nutrition in each of the targeted countries aims to exploit as much as possible the food data collected in the Household Income and Expenditure Survey, to derive indicators on food security and nutrition at national level that could inform policies aiming at fighting root causes of Non Communicable Diseases. The Food Security Profile also provides a wealth of information on dietary energy consumption, food sources, food costs and nutritional adequacy of the Marshallese.

The production of the Food Security Profile was a joint collaboration between the Marshall Islands Economic Policy Planning and Statistics Office, the Pacific Community and the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations.
