Nutrition Outcome Analysis

 Diverse information is required to estimate and interpret:
• Core outcome (nutrition levels and deaths)
• Immediate causes (food consumption and disease)
• Underlying causes (household food security, social care and health environment).

 In Somalia, diverse sources and methods are used to access the information to estimate both the core outcome, and contextual factors:
• Nutrition surveys based on SMART Methodology
• Rapid MUAC assessments
• Health facility nutrition data
• Admissions trends to feeding programs
• Secondary data on the food security, health, and on displacements.

 In Somalia, the Nutrition situation analytical framework is the basis for interpreting findings of each outcome, and of the overall situation.
