The Nepal Thematic Report on Food Security and Nutrition 2013, updates the status of food security and nutrition in Nepal, and analyzes key food security trends over the past 15 years. This report is based primarily on the findings of the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS) 2010/11, which covered 5,988 households and included anthropometric data collected from approximately 2,500 preschool children under 60 months of age. The 2010/11 NLSS is the third of its kind in Nepal (following surveys undertaken in 1995/96 and 2003/04) and represents a comprehensive and reliable source of information on the status of national and regional food security and the nutritional status of the population.
Over the past 15 years, Nepal has made significant gains in poverty reduction, from a rate of 40 percent in 1995/96 to 25 percent in 2010/11. This has been matched by a corresponding reduction in the proportion of the population experiencing hunger and chronic undernutrition. In spite of the progress made, some households are falling behind, and amongst some of the poorest households, there is evidence that vulnerability may have increased in recent years.
