Led by USAID, Feed the Future is the U.S. Government’s global hunger and food security initiative, which establishes a foundation for lasting progress against global hunger. (See the individual entries to retrieve data for the country surveys.) With a focus on smallholder farmers, particularly women, Feed the Future supports partner countries in developing their agriculture sectors to spur economic growth that increases incomes and reduces hunger, poverty and undernutrition. Focus countries in the Feed the Future initiative administer interim population-based surveys in their target geographic areas (zones of influence or ZOI) to monitor country program performance across a number of standardized indicators.
