Series Information
This is the second SENS in Zambia refugee settlements. The first took place in 2009.
Abstract
The UNHCR Standardized Expanded Nutrition Surveys (SENS) provide regular nutrition data that plays a key role in delivering effective and timely interventions to ensure good nutritional outcomes in the refugee populations. UNHCR in collaboration with WFP and UNICEF and its project partners, Ministry of Community Development Mother and Child Health, MOH and MHA/COR, organized and conducted the nutrition survey in the two refugee settlements of Meheba and Mayukwayukwa refugee settlements in December 2013, where supplementary feeding programmes were implemented with the aim to prevent and reduce acute malnutrition among moderate malnourished children below 5 years and pregnant and lactating women. This was the second SENS in these two settlements, previous one conducted in 2009. The main objective of the SENS was to determine the overall health and nutrition status, to determine anaemia and mortality rates in order to establish programme strategies and activities to sustainably improve the refugee livelihoods, nutritional and health status.
The survey includes three household-level modules (food security, mosquito net and water and sanitation (WASH)) and three individual-level modules (infants, children under five and women). Systematic random sampling was used in both settlements, and the sample size was calculated based on the highest global acute malnutrition (GAM) prevalence rate (8.4%). See further details in the report.
