UNHCR standardised expanded nutrition survey for Dzaleka, Luwani, and host communities (2016)

Why this dataset matters

This release is useful when the research question sits at the intersection of Dzaleka’s nutrition situation and household welfare. It is stronger than a simple report citation because the public metadata spells out:

• survey scope
• fieldwork timing
• modules covered
• the broad sampling logic used in each survey area

That makes it particularly useful for comparative review work, historical baselining, and health-and-food-security context building.

What the UNHCR record emphasizes

The UNHCR Microdata Library describes this as a 2016 Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey for Dzaleka, Luwani, and host communities. The public entry says fieldwork ran from March 7, 2016 to March 28, 2016, and that the release includes modules on food security, mosquito nets, WASH, young children, and women aged 15 to 49.

The metadata also situates the survey historically by noting earlier SENS rounds in Dzaleka. That makes this page a helpful bridge between one-off operational reporting and longer-term trend research.

Suggested uses

• compare nutrition and food-security coverage between Dzaleka and adjacent response areas
• build historical context for public health or humanitarian analysis
• identify whether a research question needs a nutrition survey, a socio-economic assessment, or both
• anchor proposal or briefing notes with a survey source rather than a narrative report alone
