USAID's Bureau for Food Security issued guidance for target setting for the percent growth in agricultural gross domestic product (GDP) indicator and for the 13 Zone of Influence population-based survey indicators. This event, hosted via webinar, provided an opportunity for Feed the Future focus-country Missions and their implementing partners to seek clarification on the guidance from members of the team that developed it. The webinar is split into four sessions:
- Poverty, per capita expenditure, and agricultural GDP indicators
- WEAI
- Nutrition indicators
- Any remaining questions
