The new Income and Price Elasticities of Food Demand (E-FooD) dataset [https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/OXZ0H6] and Food Security Simulators (FSS) provide rigorous, yet easy-to-use tools for forward-looking evaluations of direct, household-level outcomes of economic crisis and policy responses. This webinar, organized by the CGIAR Initiative on National Policies and Strategies (NPS), introduces the E-FooD dataset and FSS for Kenya [https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/NS1A7V] and Nigeria [https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/WWMN6H], showcases their applications, and discusses the role that such tools can play in policymaking.Welcome Remarks Clemens Breisinger, Lead, CGIAR Initiative on National Policies and Strategies (NPS) and Country Program Leader, Kenya, IFPRIThe E-FooD DatasetOlivier Ecker, Senior Research Fellow, IFPRIFood Security Simulators for Kenya and NigeriaAndrew Comstock, Senior Research Analyst, IFPRIPanel Discussion Alan Rennison, Senior Program Officer, Agricultural Development, Global Growth & Opportunity, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF)Utz Pape, Lead Economist, The World Bank, AbujaDorah Momanyi, Young Professional (YP) and Winner of FSS Blog Competition; KIPPRA KenyaTemitayo Adeyemo, Agricultural Economist, Food systems research, Policy research, AWARD-GRASP fellow, University of Ibadan, NigeriaClosing Remarks Yumna Kassim, Program Manager, IFPRIModeratorYumna Kassim, Program Manager, IFPRILinksIncome And Price Elasticities Of Food Demand (E-FooD) Dataset: Documentation Of Estimation Methodology: https://www.ifpri.org/publication/income-and-price-elasticities-food-demand-e-food-dataset-documentation-estimationFood Security Simulator Kenya: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/NS1A7VFood Security Simulator Nigeria: https://dataverse.harvard.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.7910/DVN/WWMN6HMore about this seminar: https://www.ifpri.org/event/e-food-dataset-and-food-security-simulators-kenya-and-nigeria-innovative-tools-supportSubscribe IFPRI Insights newsletter and event announcements at www.ifpri.org/content/newsletter-subscription
