Job Purpose
Child undernutrition is an
overwhelming public health concern in the East and Central parts of Africa.
Overtime, Hundreds of small-scale surveys are conducted in the region covering
mostly emergency pockets with few being done in stable contexts.
The nutrition unit focuses on the
following pillars
-Nutrition sensitive programming
-nutrition specific programming
-Nutrition in emergencies programmes
-HIV specific programmes
A lot of data is generated from the
various programmes which include TSFP,BSFP,IFP,FSNMS,MCHN
We want to review the evidence from
programme data and small-scale surveys conducted for the last 10 or more years
to provide a summary estimate of the magnitude and prevalence from emergency
and non-emergency pockets and to examine reasons for variation in prevalence
estimates in addition to providing trend maps and hazard analysis.
We will develop datasets by combining
data from programmes, Complex Emergency Database, Country Nutrition clusters,
MICS and DHS surveys etc. We will conduct a meta-analysis of small-scale
surveys using a random effects model with known within-study heterogeneity for
mapping.
The influence of survey covariates on
estimated prevalence will not be investigated. However, we expect the aggregated
analysis of project data and small-scale surveys to provide insights into the
prevalence of undernutrition and factors explaining its variation over years
and areas. It will also guide in survey planning towards areas with limited
data availability.
