Abstract
ABSTRACT The current study aims at assessing dietary diversity and household food insecurity among children under 5 years. A community-based cross-sectional survey of 321 households was carried out with the use of a structured questionnaire. The findings reveal that household food insecurity is highly prevalent within the study area and this is mainly as a result of low dietary diversity, which impacts the nutritional status of children under-five. This calls for the intensification of food aid and hunger relief activities within the area. Gender disparities in the mist of food insecurity highlight the need for gender-sensitive interventions against the condition.
