The Assessment Framework

The Assessment Framework looks at


assessment coordination over time based on
“phases” following a crisis.
 These phases are indicative
 They may vary depending on the context

What are the
sources of
nutrition
information
that can be used
during Needs
Assessment and
Analysis phase of
the HPC?
What is your role as
an IMO in the Needs
Assessment &
Analysis phase of
the HPC?
Nutrition Cluster IMOs have specific roles and
responsibilities regardless of the phase –

To collect and collate assessment reports,


disseminate to partners following the analysis and
validation conducted by the Assessment TWIG or
a cluster coordination team

Also to establish the surveys database for the


cluster
Large-scale national surveys
 Such as Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) or
Multiple Indicators Cluster Surveys (MICS).
 Good for providing baseline data and monitor long term
trends of nutrition status among the affected population
 Limitations in emergencies:
Conducted every 3 to 5 years, acute malnutrition increases rapidly
and could be missed

Example nutrition status MICS 2003-2009

Repeated small-scale surveys

The most common method used to assess the nutrition


situation in emergencies providing prevalence of all forms
of malnutrition and often mortality, food security, health,
WASH indicators

To be comparable they should be conducted in the


same geographical area and
at the same time of year/ same season

Clinic-based monitoring
 As component of Health Information System: in-
service or community-based growth monitoring
(WFA) in MCH programs.
 Limitations and bias:
Capacity for identifying nutrition crisis
Captures younger children
Population attending clinics may not be representative
Sentinel sites
 Monitoring of a set of indicators in selected
communities or service-delivery sites
 Range from technically sophisticated large-scale to
simple community-based monitoring of several key
indicators.
 Aim to produce trends in the nutrition situation in
identified vulnerable areas in order to provide an early
warning of deterioration
 Can be inexpensive but questions around analysis of
data and representativeness.
Rapid nutrition assessments / Rapid
screenings
They are an important source of information especially at the
onset of an emergency to determine the magnitude and
severity of a crisis.

Information may not always be representative but results


can provide a basis for determining whether a more detailed
assessment is required to establish the actual prevalence of
acute malnutrition or whether an emergency response is
required.
Program / services statistics

Indicators such as admissions, cure, defaulting


and case-fatality rates provide a measure of:
• programme quality
• trends in acute malnutrition
• the most vulnerable groups
• seasonal trends in the nutrition situation, assuming
reasonable coverage and access
• help to identify the underlying causes of malnutrition,
such as morbidity (illness) patterns.
Remember to collect information on immediate and underlying causes
(from other sectors such as WASH, Health, Food Security)!!

Surveys database
• The Surveys database is an adaptable Excel database tool
which is used in the Needs Assessment and Analysis
phase of the HPC.
• It was created to improve efficiency of analysis by bringing
data from several surveys into one tool.

• The database includes four worksheets: 1) Anthropometric


nutrition 2) Infant and young-child feeding, 3) Micronutrient
deficiencies, and 4) Coverage.
• Each sheet is organised in a similar way with sections for
who, when, where, survey quality and what.

• The Surveys Database would likely be maintained and


managed by a focal point for assessments in the CLA or
IMO or a chair of the Nutrition Information Working Group,
Assessment Working Group
• It is not recommended that it is filled-in directly by cluster
partners.
Survey database activity instructions
In your group, you have 20 minutes to practice completing
the Survey database tool.
 Extract data from your assigned report and enter it into
the database.
 Facilitators are available to help if you need support.
 For the debrief, please share:
• Two examples of when you could have used this tool (in the
past) to enhance information management in your cluster and
what would have been the impact
• Two constraints your group would anticipate in using this tool (in
the future) and how these might be overcome.
