The FEMOZ team analysed the impact of food and nutrition policies in Mozambique based on the Food Environment Policy Index (Food EPI) developed by the INFORMAS network (1), in the Portuguese language. This analysis provided a good overview of the status of implementation of various policies in the area of food and nutrition security (FNS) and enabled the development of policy recommendations.

To build capacity for FNS policy monitoring and disseminate the Food EPI approach, a training course is currently being developed at the Universidade de Rovuma.

The course manual can be downloaded here.

(1) The International Network for Food and Obesity/NCDs Research, Monitoring and Action Support is a global network for the promotion of healthy food environments.

The methodological approach of the Food EPI can also serve as a basis for regular monitoring of progress in the area of FNS.
