The UNHCR Standardized Expanded Nutrition Surveys (SENS) provide regular nutrition data that play a key role in delivering effective and timely interventions to ensure good nutritional outcomes among populations affected by forced displacement. This survey was conducted in October 2012 in Liberia in three counties (Maryland, Grand Gedeh, and Nimba) and in five refugee camp (Little Wlebo in Maryland; Solo, PTP, and Dougee in Grand Gedeh; and in Bahn camp in Nimba) hosting refugees from Côte d'Ivoire. It was organized by UNHCR and World Food Programme (WFP) in close collaboration with implementing partners, operational partners, and the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MoHSW) of the Republic of Liberia. This was the first of three SENS surveys that took place. Subsequent surveys took place in 2013 and 2015.

During the survey, the sample size was adjusted in Little Wlebo and Bahn camps due to the fact that the non-response rate was higher than estimated.

A three days central training of trainers (ToT) (key staff from IPs/OPs) was conducted at Zwedru in Grand Gedeh County from 4-6 October 2012 followed by rollout training to enumerators in respective camps; BO-M Nutritionist and UNHCR HQ Nutritionist facilitated the ToT. The ToT focused on various elements of the nutrition survey including the roles of supervisors and important quality related errors to be checked during the survey, in addition to sessions on how to facilitate the camp-level training. After the training the participants returned to their respective camps where they facilitated training of enumerators. All supervisors were qualified health workers. In total 12 supervisors were trained and supervised the teams during data collection.
