A comprehensive assessment of the existing food procurement landscape is crucial to the development, implementation, and evaluation of a healthy public food procurement policy that is relevant to the specific context. Resolve to Save Lives has developed example surveys for capturing key aspects of the food procurement and policy landscape. These surveys should be adapted to each local context. Example surveys in this series include:
- Survey 1: Overview of Government Institutions’ Food Procurement Processes
- Survey 2: Key Informant Interview Tool
- Survey 3: Detailed Assessment of the Food Environment in Government Settings
Survey #1 can be used to identify the government institutions that purchase, serve, and/or sell food. Then, for institutions that do purchase, serve, and/or sell food, Survey #2 and #3 can be used for a more detailed follow-up assessment of the food environment and to better understand the food procurement process.
