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 the Ministry of Health and with support from ADES, UNICEF and WFP organized and series of three SENS in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the first half of 2019 focusing on the following locations and population groups:
- in camps hosting refugees from Burundi (Sud-Kivu province);
- in camps and among host populations hosting refugees from Central African Republic (Bas-Uélé, Nord-Ubangi and Sud-Ubangi provinces), and
- in camps and among host populations hosting refugees from South Sudan (Haut-Uélé and Ituri provinces).
The survey includes seven modules: household composition, income, consumption and food security, use of mosquito nets, water and sanitation (WASH), children under five, and women of childbearing age. See further details in the three reports.
This data is the anonymous version of the original data collected for primary use.
