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 from 26 November to 15 December 2017. This was the third SENS in these two settlements, previous ones conducted in 2009 and 2013. The main objective of the SENS was to determine the overall nutrition and health status of the refugee population and establish workable recommendations for appropriate interventions.
The survey includes one household-level modules and three individual-level modules (infants, children under five and women). See further details in the report.
