dc.descriptionTAFSSA (Transforming Agrifood Systems in South Asia) is a CGIAR Regional Integrated Initiative aimed at advancing equitable access to sustainable healthy diets, enhancing farmers' livelihoods and resilience, and conserving natural resources such as land, air, and water across South Asia. The TAFSSA district agrifood systems assessment seeks to establish a robust, accessible, and integrated evidence base that connects farm production, market access, dietary patterns, climate risk responses, and natural resource management, with gender considerations integrated throughout. The assessment focuses on rural areas in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, utilizing a district-level, multi-year approach. Data was collected between February and June 2023 in the Banke and Surkhet districts of Nepal. The survey covered 25 wards in each district, focusing on formal and informal retail shops operating in the sampled villages. The types of retail shops included local grocery stores and specialized shops selling meat, fish, eggs, or dairy products. The survey employed pretested, structured questionnaires organized into three modules: 1. Interview-Based Module: Captured vendor information, assortments of essential goods, availability, resilience, food sourcing, food wastage, and dimensions of access and protection. 2. Observation + Photo-Based Module: Documented market infrastructure, food quality, safety, and hygiene aspects. 3. Food List Module: Recorded the availability and prices of an exhaustive list of food items found in the location.
