“…This problem is high in middle and low income countries. Most malnutrition occurs in women and childrens [30]. Under the nutritional food supplementation program for pregnant women and children under five in the United States, the results show that nutritional food supplementation in pregnant women and children under five even though it has not reached 100%, but only by 20% -40%, but can reduce the prevalence of malnutrition children from 1976 -1980 [31].…”

The aims of the study was to determine the impact of the covid-19 pandemic and food limitations for urban pregnant mothers in Indonesia's Papua Province. Methods:A cross sectional study design, is type research to see the relationship of the impact covid-19 pandemic and food limitations for urban pregnant mothers in Papua Province. Place of research Jayapura city and Jayapura Regency, which represents all the Regencies of Papua Province. The population ware all pragnant mothers in Papua Province. Samples were pregnant mothers living in urban areas Jayapura City and Jayapura Regency. Data analysis using the Chi-Square test (χ2). Results:Pandemic Covid-19 and food limitations of urban pregnant mothers in March-June 2020 in Papua Province. Food transportation was very less 37,8% and good 25,6%. Government helps was very less 38,9% and very good 22,2%. Work of the head families were very less 26,7% and very good 31,1%. Household heads income were less 33,3% and very good 30,3%.

Fats Source (10-20%) were very less 31,1% and good 26,7%. Energy sources (2150 to 2250 kcal + 300 kcal) were very less 24,4% and very good 26,7%. Limitations food consumption of urban pregnant mothers were not significant with government helps. Limitations food consumption of urban pregnant mothers were significant with restrictions on food transportation, work of the head families, household heads income, limited vitamins mineral source, protein sources, carbohydrates, fats, and energy source. Conclusion:Pandemic Covid-19 March-June 2020 in Regencies/City of Papua Province. Impact on the restrictions food transportation,works of the head families, families head income, limitations vitamins mineral sources, protein sources, carbohydrates, fats, and energy sources.

“…For the past two decades, cassava production has been growing in Ghana, especially in the middle and southern belt of the country [11]. Beesabathuni, van Zutphen and Kraemer predicted that its production will continue to grow as it recorded a 40% growth between 2012 and 2016 [12]. Available data from Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA) showed that cassava still enjoys the largest area planted per hector as compared with other food crops.…”

Gender disparity has a severe and long-term consequence on women especially in developing African countries such as Ghana. The socio-economic effect of gender inequality is harsher on rural women dwellers in Ghana due to lack of access to business and livelihood empowering opportunities. One way to deal with the above and improve the economic wellbeing of rural women dwellers is to create economic opportunities from which they can earn a good income. In Ghana, rural women could participate in the entire value chain of food crops such as cassava as they already participate in its cultivation (upstream activities of the supply chain). The current study adopts the approach of literature review on cassava and gari production in Ghana; and conducts interviews and observations on gari processing in Ghana to share useful lessons on how to deal with socio-economic effect of gender disparity among rural women dwellers. This study interviewed women in two gari processing enclaves in the country to provide useful insight on how women wellbeing could be enhanced. A total of 17 women entrepreneurs, 33 female workers and 7 farmers from 10 communities were interviewed and observed. Firstly, this study provides an understanding of the cassava-gari (roasted fermented cassava in a form of tiny grains) value chain, and the role rural women entrepreneurs can play to enrich their livelihood. Secondly, the study highlights the key activities of gari processing by women in rural Ghana, the challenges faced, and provides valuable conclusions on how to bridge the gender gap through women’s participation in an enhanced cassava-gari value chain. Lastly, two important issues are highlighted with respect to rural women’s participation in an enhanced gari value chain: (1) the opportunity for affordable nutrition through a common local farm produce, and (2) the economic livelihood of rural women. While rural women possess enough capacity to participate meaningfully in the value chain, there are still constraints that can be dealt with by any enterprise that seeks to venture into large-scale commercial fortified gari production. Such ventures, be it a social (businesses for social good) or commercial (profit centered businesses) enterprise, will enhance access to affordable nutrition as well as economic empowerment.
