Overall objective
To establish accurately the nutrition situation in two ecological zones of Hajja Governorate and IDPs settlements, determine some of the factors influencing malnutrition and identify the accessibility to health services
Specific objectives
- To estimate the level of acute malnutrition (wasting), stunting
and underweight among children aged 6-59 months in the Lowland and Mountainous Ecological Zones of Hajja Governorate as well as in IDPs settlements within the governorate
- To identify factors influencing nutrition status of the children in
the survey areas including disease prevalence and access to essential services.
- To estimate the prevalence of some common diseases (measles,
diarrhoea, fever and ARI) in the survey areas.
- To estimate the measles and polio vaccination and Vitamin A
supplementation coverage among children in the survey areas.
- To estimate the crude and under-five mortality rates in the
survey areas.

Quality concern
- Small number of teams with focus training.
- Standardization of measurers.
- Field test before conduct the data collection.
- Intensive supervision at field.
- Daily check for the quality.
- Data entry verification
