The Mali Food and Nutritional Security Survey 2020, or ENSAN 2020, examined food insecurity and vulnerability in Mali. The survey aimed to gather data to answer the following questions: Who is food insecure? How many people are food insecure? Where do these people live? Why are they food insecure? What is the nutritional situations for children under five? The survey included a household and community questionnaire.

The household questionnaire consisted of two parts:

1. Socioeconomic questions administered to the head of household
2. Anthropometry of children (0-59 months) and women of childbearing age; health data for mothers and children including topics such as diseases, vaccinations, diet, hygiene, and breastfeeding

The Mauritania Demographic and Health Survey 2019-2021 is part of phase seven of the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) series. Data collection was conducted in two phases due to interruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to common DHS topics, this survey also collected information about domestic violence and female circumcision, maternal mortality, and migration. 11,658 households were surveyed. 

The sample for the National Survey of Women, Childhood and Adolescence (EMNA) was used to provide estimates for a large number of indicators on the conditions of women, children and adolescence at the national level, by urban and rural area, as well as the seven provinces of the country: San José, Alajuela, Cartago, Heredia, Guanacaste, Puntarenas and Limón. Four questionnaires were used in the survey: 1) a household questionnaire to collect basic demographic information about all the people who are de jure household members; 2) a questionnaire for individual women applied in each home to all women 15-49 years of age; 3) a questionnaire for children under 5 years old, administered to mothers (or caregivers) of all minor children 5 years living in the home; and 4) a questionnaire for children from 5 to 17 years of age, answered by the mother (or caregiver).
