Nutrient intakes from a 24-hour recall survey among children aged 2-5 years, adolescent girls aged 10-18 years, and women aged 19-49 years in five regions of Niger.

Background: Conducting dietary intake surveys among vulnerable groups is essential for assessing interventions and informing decision-makers on progress in transforming food systems for supporting healthier diets. We aimed to describe the usual intakes of nutrients and their adequacy compared to estimated average requirements in three target groups; children aged 2-5 years, adolescent girls aged 10-18 years, and women aged 19-49 years in the regions of Dosso, Maradi, Tahoua, Tillabéri, and Zinder in Niger.

Methods: We conducted the first quantitative food consumption survey in Niger.
