Bio

Wim Marivoet is Research Fellow in the Development Strategies and Governance Unit, based in Leuven, Belgium. His main research interests involve poverty measurement, spatial typologies, food systems, and food and nutrition security, with a focus on several African countries, particularly the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Senegal.

Wim currently analyzes household coping strategies and resilience in the Sahel region. In Senegal, he is involved in strengthening national capacities and improving policies through research on food systems, climate change, gender, and nutrition.

Before joining IFPRI in 2015, Wim worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Development Policy (IOB-University of Antwerp, Belgium), where he obtained his PhD in applied economics.

Report

Integrated and enhanced datasets on food security and household coping strategies in the G5 Sahel Countries (2018-2023)

Integrated and enhanced datasets on food security and household coping strategies in the G5 Sahel Countries (2018-2023)

This report describes the methodology and output behind the integration and enhancement of nationally representative household surveys on food security and coping strategies implemented in the G5 Sahel countries between 2018 and 2023. Whereas the data integration process involves the harmonization of variables across multiple cross-sectional surveys, the enhancement procedure focuses on adding shock data on multiple dimensions of political violence, food price anomalies, and climate- and weather-related events. Despite shortcomings in data quality and exhaustivity, the resulting datasets represent a unique playground to study the interaction between shocks and stressors on the one hand and household coping strategies and their impact on food security on the other hand.

Understanding Urban and Rural Household Food Consumption in Senegal

Using household consumption data collected in 2017/18, this chapter analyzes patterns of urban and rural food consumption in Senegal. We adopt two methodological approaches. The first is an in-depth (spatial) analysis of current diets and corresponding nutrient deficiencies, coupled with an identification of possible food items to address existing nutrient gaps. The second approach is […]
