Extended Data Fig. 4: Dietary balance before (solid line) and after cash transfer (CT) and each of the five price discount (PD) simulations for Q2 households.

From: Nutrient adequacy for poor households in Africa would improve with higher income but not necessarily with lower food prices

Extended Data Fig. 4

Each country is depicted by one color, and each symbol depicts one CT or PD simulation as represented in the legend. The PD simulations are denoted by SG (staple grains) SS (starchy staples), PN (pulses, nuts, & seeds); FFV (fresh fruits & vegetables); and ASF (animal-source foods) as described in Suppl. Table 62. The left column above the label depicts the share of the country’s population whose intake of carbohydrates exceeds the WHO recommended 75% limit, while the left column below the label depicts the share of the country’s population whose intake of carbohydrates is less than the recommended 55% lower limit. The solid line depicts the share of households at baseline that consume above (below) the upper (lower) recommended limit. The second column depicts the same dietary balance analysis for fat, while the right-most column for protein.
