Findings

  • According to surveys in 2009, six provinces of the ten surveyed had areas of emergency level malnutrition. In 2010, one of four provinces had areas of emergency level malnutrition.

  • Quality of nutrition surveys was better than that of mortality surveys.

  • The precision of the surveys still needs improvement, particularly for mortality surveys.

  • In North Kivu, the malnutrition situation appears to have improved due to emergency interventions.
