Nutrition needs assessment

Last updated:
Key points
  • Review pre-crisis data and conduct initial assessment analysis to understand the nutrition status before the crisis as a reference point for assessing the impact of the crisis on nutrition outcomes
  • Conduct a rapid nutrition needs assessment at the onset of the emergency to understand the nutrition situation, estimate needs and identify groups with specific needs and/or that have the greatest need for nutritional support
  • Collaborate with other sectors such as health, food security, WASH, shelter and protection to ensure joint assessment and to plan on how to address interlinked needs

Post emergency phase

As the emergency progresses to the post-emergency phase, continue conducting nutrition assessments and monitoring nutrition indicators to evaluate the impact of interventions. Collaborate with development partners and local authorities to ensure a smooth transition and sustainable nutrition solutions for the affected population where possible.
