Food systems have the potential to drive inclusive growth, prosperity, nutrition, and health, or, if poorly managed, they can deepen inequalities and exacerbate poverty, malnutrition, and other poor outcomes. Data plays a crucial role in building food systems that drive positive development outcomes by providing the foundation for informed decision-making, effective policy formulation, targeted interventions, and stakeholder engagement and collaboration. The Nigeria Food Systems Dashboard is an online platform that brings together state-level data about food systems components and drivers, and supports the description, diagnosis, and decision-making related to local food systems by providing comprehensive contextual information. The Dashboard therefore facilitates successful food systems transformation and governance and is a powerful tool for multisector and national food systems stakeholders.
