BRIEF INTRODUCTION

PUI is implementing and integrated health and nutrition program in the state of Kayin, serving into 60 villages with mobile clinic and community out-reach services. The main purpose of this consultancy is to conduct one baseline study based on SMART methodology, covering the 60 villages in Kayin State, to determine the prevalence of acute malnutrition of children aged 6-59 months, crude mortality and minimum acceptable diet. The Program is now in the inception phase where PUI is organizing the baseline data that will be used to update the log frame targets.

Objectives and Specific Tasks to be undertaken by the expert

Specific objective(s)

• To estimate the prevalence of acute malnutrition among children aged 6-59 months and PLW of the targeted children.
• To estimate the prevalence of children minimum acceptable diet (WHO, IYCF standard indicator).

Geographical scope

60 Rural villages of Hlaingbwe, Myawaddy, and Kawkareik township of Kayin State of Myanmar face significant challenges due to their remote location and limited accessibility. Poor infrastructure, security concerns, check points and communication difficulties hinder humanitarian efforts and development initiatives. For robust analysis it is crucial to have provision for enough reserve clusters and to develop tools and methodology to monitor data quality.
