Key Results
The Integrated Phase classification for Acute Malnutrition (IPC AMN) analysis conducted in July 2024 shows overall improvement. However, some areas continue to report high levels of acute malnutrition. Turkana South improved from IPC AMN Phase 5 (Extremely Critical) to IPC AMN Phase 4 (Critical). Turkana Central, Turkana West, Turkana North, North Horr, Laisamis, Mandera, and Tiaty improved though within the same phase; IPC AMN Phase 4 (Critical).
The nutrition situation is expected to continue improving over the projection period, although it will likely remain within the same acute malnutrition classification phases. The major improvement in reducing the prevalence of global acute malnutrition is attributed to enhanced nutrition and food security interventions in addition to improved food security characterized by positive impact of long rains in the pastoral communities associated with improved milk availability and consumption, and in agropastoral communities increased food stocks and vegetables resulting from the favorable cumulative performance from the 2023 short rains and the 2024 long rains.
