Due to typographical errors in the underlying data, there are errors throughout the article in the reporting of the food consumption score (FCS), the percentage of households consuming adequate Minimum Dietary Diversity of Women (MDD-W) food groups in the last seven days, and the mean score for the households consuming Minimum Dietary Diversity of Women (MDDW) food groups for seven days. The correct percentage of households with an acceptable food consumption score (FCS) over 7 days is 61%. These errors are present in Table 1. Please see the correct Table 1 here.
