The purpose of this survey was to collect current information on the nutritional status of children ages 0-59 months. The data were collected to target areas at highest risk of malnutrition by determining the frequency of both acute and chronic malnutrition, and the frequency of underweight children under age 5. The survey also collected information on morbidity and on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices in children 0-23 months.
