Abstract
Turkana County department of health in collaboration with nutrition partners (UNICEF, Save the Children international, World Vision, Aphia Plus, and Gain) successfully conducted Four SMART surveys in June 2015. Four (4) independent surveys will be conducted concurrently to cover the whole County. This ensured all the livelihood zones in the county (pastoral, agro-pastoral and formal employment/business/petty trade) were covered. The survey zones are Turkana Central (Central and Loima sub counties), Turkana North (North and Kibish sub counties), Turkana South (South and East sub counties) and Turkana West (West Sub County).
The main goal of the survey was to determine the prevalence of malnutrition among the children aged 6- 59 months old, pregnant and lactating mothers and contributory factors for malnutrition. The specific objective of the survey were;
1. To determine the prevalence of acute malnutrition among under five year old children, pregnant and lactating women
2. To determine the immunization coverage for measles, Oral Polio Vaccines (OPV 1 and 3), and vitamin A supplementation in children aged 6-59 months;
3. To estimate coverage of iron / folic acid supplementation during pregnancy in women of reproductive age
4. To determine de-worming coverage for children aged 12 to 59 months;
5. To determine the prevalence of common illnesses;
6. To collect information on possible underlying causes of malnutrition such as household food security, water, sanitation, and hygiene practices.
