Section 1 of the report provides a global overview of dietary surveys carried out in LMICs from 1980 through 2019, analysing key characteristics and trends over time.

Section 2 of the report celebrates the increased investment in dietary surveys in LMICs by highlighting country stories related to dietary survey initiation, implementation and data use.

Section 3 of the report is aimed at generating further momentum for investment in government-led dietary surveys in LMICs by illustrating, through data visualizations, the type of information dietary data can provide for policy makers.
