Global Diet Quality Project

Projet terminé

Diet is the most important determinant of health. Multiple forms of malnutrition co-exist with overweight and obesity being the fastest growing form, particularly in developing countries. SDC as a main bilateral donors to address non-communicable diseases aims to close a significant data gap by facilitating the generation of routinely collected and internationally comparable data on diet quality, thereby contributing to a better understanding of dietary trends, awareness, and policies.

Le projet en bref
Contexte Most countries, at all levels of development, experience multiple forms of malnutrition (wasting, stunting, underweight, nutrient-deficiencies, overweight and obesity). People’s daily diet is one of the most important determinants of health. Improvement of diet could potentially prevent one in every five deaths globally. However, despite diet’s outsized role in terms of health and climate change, there is still no consistently collected, internationally comparable data on diet quality available.
Objectifs The overall goal is to generate the first global, public, open-access data on diet quality and to catalyse and enable sustained diet quality data collection and monitoring across countries as a basis for evidence-informed policy decisions and tailored programmes to improve nutrition for all.
Groupes cibles

Direct beneficiaries: national policy- and decision makers, UN organisations and nutrition community

End beneficiaries: consumers all over the world 
Effets à moyen terme

The main outcomes are the following:

Outcome 1: Nutritional or related surveys capture valid diet quality data with minimal cost and effort

Outcome 2: Nutrition, health, and agricultural policies and programmes are informed by diet quality data.
Résultats

Principaux résultats attendus:  

1) Diet quality questionnaires (DQ-Q) for 92 countries

2) Nationally-representative diet quality data in 40 countries

3) 5 country briefings to disseminate findings in 5 countries

4) a user-friendly web portal


Principaux résultats antérieurs:   Key results of the entry phase include the convening of a highly competent global Technical Advisory Group (TAG) including world-leading nutrition researchers and representatives from U.N. organizations, governmental and non-governmental agencies for identifying the potential to develop an internationally standardized, easy-to-implement survey instrument. Key dimensions of diets that need to be measured (i.e. nutrient adequacy and diets that protect health against non-communicable diseases) were determined and new indicators to measure health-protective diets were developed. A diet quality survey module was developed, pre-tested and piloted. First data was collected in Brazil, Ghana and Tanzania as part of the Gallup World Poll 2018 and 2019 and first results from Ghana and Tanzania has been published in the latest SOFI report 2020.
