A Cost of the Diet analysis in Khulna district of Bangladesh

This Cost of the Diet analysis for the fish cultivation livelihood zone of Khulna has been conducted as part of an integrated study with a Household Economy Assessment (HEA), funded by the ECHO ‘Filling the Gap’ grant and Save the Children UK. The aim of this analysis was to assess the degree to which economic constraints might prevent households from having access to a nutritious diet. In addition, a Cost of the Diet analysis was also conducted in the urban livelihood zone of Khulna. While no HEA was conducted in this zone, these findings are also presented to highlight some of the similarities and differences in the cost of a nutritious diet in an urban versus a rural area.
