The Nutrition Country Profiles are comprehensive reviews describing the food and nutrition situations in individual countries, with background statistics on food-related factors such as agricultural production, as well as selected health, demographic and economic indicators. The outline of the profiles follows the FIVIMS conceptual framework of food security and nutrition, including indicators of immediate, underlying and basic causes of malnutrition. These data come from the United Nations agencies' global data banks and national institutions. The data were compiled and interpreted by national experts from the countries in collaboration with nutritionists from the Nutrition Planning, Assessment and Evaluation Service of the Nutrition and Consumer Protection Division.
