Description
High quality, timely research is important for generating evidence-based insights that have potential to improve development outcomes. Under this activity, IFPRI is analyzing and disseminating findings from the Feed the Future 2022 surveys, which is expected to guide actions and investments by USAID in the Feed the Future Zone of Influence and Zone of Resilience in Bangladesh. IFPRI researchers will also design and implement the Feed the Future 2024/25 surveys, which will serve as the endline for the second phase of the Feed the Future program. Additionally, IFPRI researchers will undertake supplemental demand-driven policy analyses relevant to the U.S. Government’s Global Food Security Strategy (GFSS) objectives in Bangladesh.
