Humanitarian Development Nexus: Simple, Spatial,Survey Method (S3M) for Sudan

The aim of this action is to contribute to the reduction of malnutrition in Sudan. More specifically the project will collect and disseminate disaggregated data on multiple indicators pertaining to key determinants of malnutrition in young children and pregnant and lactating women through undertaking a Simple, Spatial, Survey Method (S3M) survey in Sudan.

Main objectives

The specific objective of the project is to collect and disseminate disaggregated data on multiple indicators pertaining to key determinants of malnutrition in young children and pregnant and lactating women through undertaking a Simple, Spatial, Survey Method (S3M) survey in Sudan. The S3M survey utilises an internationally recognised approach for obtaining disaggregated data on multiple indicators pertaining to key determinants of malnutrition in young children and pregnant and lactation women.

The survey will also address the broader welfare and rights of children, in alignment with the conceptual framework of malnutrition. The survey, which collects information at sub-locality, locality, state and potentially also at national level, focuses on indicators of determinants which are not available through other means. Where indicators are collected through other surveys and approaches, e.g. food security or selected health facility based indicators, these will not be included in the S3M survey regardless of their relevance to the determinants of malnutrition. This is done in order to limit the total number of indicators collected, and hence the quality of the survey. The methodology applied further permits the mapping of results to show geographical areas of highest need and ‘hot-spots’ as well as progress on key indicators between 2013 and 2018 which helps to inform programmes and prioritisation of funding for social services by the international community as well as the Government of Sudan.
