- Description
The Women's Empowerment and Nutrition (WEN) module was integrated into the Annual Agricultural Survey 2024 under the umbrella of the 50x2030 Initiative to close the agricultural data gap https://www.50x2030.org/, a global partnership of the World Bank, FAO and IFAD aimed to strengthen the availability of data on agriculture. This is the first WEN survey in Liberia, designed to generate nationally representative statistics on empowerment and women's dietary diversity among agricultural households.
The Women's Empowerment and Nutrition Survey (WEN) 2024 provides a comprehensive picture of empowerment, women's nutrition, and the relationship between the two in agricultural households across Liberia. Implemented by the Liberia Institute of Statistics and Geo-Information Services (LISGIS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), and with technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the survey had four key objectives:
1. To measure the empowerment of women in agricultural households and assess their dietary diversity, with findings disseminated to ministries and stakeholders for programming and policy design.
2. To document lessons learned in order to refine and strengthen methodologies for measuring women’s empowerment within agricultural surveys.
3. To raise visibility of empowerment and nutrition indicators at national and global levels, demonstrating the feasibility of embedding such measures in agriculture-based surveys.
4. To strengthen national capacity to collect, analyze, and use gender- and nutrition-sensitive data for evidence-based decision making.- Sample
