4 1. INTRODUCTION Nangarhar is one of the 34 provinces of Afghanistan, located in the eastern part of the country. It is divided into twenty-two districts and has a population of about 1,436,000. The city of Jalalabad is the capital of Nangarhar province. Nangarhar province borders Laghman, Kunar, Nuristan and Paktia provinces. Nangarhar is considered as the food basket of Afghanistan as most of the crops produced here are consumed in different parts of the country. The main summer crops grown in the province are rice, maize, cotton, sunflower, beans, potato whereas main winter crops are wheat, barley, sugarcane, potato and mustard. Although opium is still considered as the predominant crop in 12 southern districts of the province, farmers are increasingly engaging in vegetable crop production due to growing demand and relatively high benefit. The vegetables normally grown in summer are okra, tomato, eggplant, pepper, pumpkins, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce and others. The winter vegetables are onion, cauliflower, turnip, spinach, radish, carrot, cabbage etc. Rodat district is well known for potato and onion production. Most of the vegetables and crops produced are supplied to Kabul and other parts of Afghanistan. Some of the crops and vegetables are also sold locally. Only 5 districts out of 22 districts in Nangarhar province were surveyed due to security issues and inaccessibility of far areas. The population of these 5 districts represent 75% of the entire population of Nangarhar Province. According to SMART methodology, the results cannot be extrapolated to the whole province but only representative of the surveyed areas. This is a limitation with regards to having a complete picture of the nutritional status of children under five year s old and pregnant/lactating women in Nangarhar province. The justification of this SMART survey was to investigate and find up to date nutrition, mortality and IYCF data specific to these districts and to foster informed and evidence based programming for Save the Children s area of intervention. Save the Children was selected to participate in this survey because they are supporting the BPHS implementer in the proper implementation of nutrition program within the BPHS program. Therefore, this has been viewed as a great opportunity of build Save the Children s capacities. Indeed, Save the Children will then be in a position to better support the BPHS partner in Nangarhar with regard to nutrition. 1
5 2. OBJECTIVES 1. Broad objective - To estimate the prevalence of acute malnutrition of 0-59 months children in Nangarhar province. 2. Specific objective - To estimate crude death rate and under five death rate in 5 districts of Nangarhar province. - To determine prevalence of acute and chronic malnutrition of 0-59 months children. - To determine IYCF practice for children 0-23 months in 5 districts of Nangarhar province. - To determine the nutritional status of Pregnant and Lactating Women in 5 districts of Nangarhar Province. 3. METHODOLOGY Survey area: This survey covered 5 districts of Nangarhar Province (Jalalabad, Surkhrod, Kama, Behsud, and Kuzkunar Districts) Survey period: The survey was conducted from 17th December 2014 to 4th January 2015 Survey design: The survey was a cross sectional study with two-stages clusters samplings using Standardized Monitoring of Relief and Transition (SMART) methodology. Villages were considered as the smallest geographical unit (clusters). Survey population: 1,077,814 Sample size: Emergency Nutrition Assessment (ENA) for SMART software delta version 2011 updated November 2014, was used for sample size calculation (parameters used for sample size calculation are in Annex 1). 4. PRIMARY RESULTS For the sake of timely presentation of survey results, Table 1 summarizes preliminary findings with regards to nutrition and health indicators. The final report will contain the full analysis and will be completed within one month once completion of field data collection. A total of 697 children aged 0-59 months were assessed for their nutritional status through anthropometric measurements from 595 sampled households. The data quality analysis is presented in annex 2 (plausibility check on anthropometric results). 2

7 Summary of Key Recommendations. Based on the results presented in the previous section some key recommendations can be already pointed out: Support women and their families to practice optimal breastfeeding and ensure timely and adequate complementary feeding through provision of IYCF programs at facility and community levels. Ensure that there are effective micronutrient strategies for pregnant women, to promote iron folate supplementation at community and facility levels. Support nutrition relevant aspects of availability, access, as well as the utilization of nutrition services through integrated programming. Community sensitization on importance of micronutrient supplementation and Vitamin A supplementation for children and pregnant women. Promote behaviour change communication strategies to increase community awareness and improve health seeking behaviour to combat childhood illness. Increase Zinc supplementation through facilities, campaigns, and CHW s to combat diarrhoea cases at facility and community levels. Promote proper hygiene practices at facility and community levels to reduce child morbidity. Final recommendations and detailed action plan will be presented in the final report of the survey. 4
