Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) is the presence of both moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in a population. Height and body weight ratios are measured for children between 6 months and 5 years old to determine the prevalence of malnutrition. Rates above 15 per cent are ordinarily considered an emergency but rates above 30 per cent contribute to the case for famine in a given area.
South Sudan's Family Mid-Upper Arm Circumference approach during the COVID-19 pandemic: a comparison of MUAC tapes
This is the underlying data for two manuscripts that report results from a three-group prospective non-randomized study that compared the performance of three different MUAC tapes (i.e., UNICEF 2020 tape, UNICEF 2009 tape, GOAL MAMI tape) in Central Equatoria and Warrap States, South Sudan. The primary outcome was the false negative rate (i.e., the proportion of children not identified as acutely malnourished by the caregiver identified as acutely malnourished by study enumerators.
Ce jeu de données, désagrégé au niveau administratif 2, porte sur les enfants souffrant de MAM (Malnutrition Aiguë Modérée) et de MAS (Malnutrition Aiguë Sévère).

The Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC) provides an overview of the world’s food-crisis countries for which external humanitarian assistance is necessary. Data are available from 2016 to 2023 as in the latest GRFC edition. Data in the various GRFC editions refer more specifically to a subset of the world's identified food crises for which data was available and meeting the GRFC partnership consensus. The GRFC aims at responding to conflicting information derived from different sources and based on different methodologies that lack a consensus-based standard by providing information based on a rigorous methodology and a highly consultative process.

This table contains subnational multidimensional poverty trends data from the data tables published by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI), University of Oxford. The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) measures multidimensional poverty in over 100 developing countries, using internationally comparable datasets and is updated annually. The measure captures the severe deprivations that each person faces at the same time using information from 10 indicators, which are grouped into three equally weighted dimensions: health, education, and living standards. The global MPI methodology is detailed in Alkire, Kanagaratnam & Suppa (2023).
The Somali Health and Demographic Survey (SHDS) is the first of its kind conducted in Somalia. The survey provides valid, reliable and representative national and sub-national data, on mortality, fertility, birth spacing, maternal and child health, nutrition and gender-based violence. This data is critical to the development of sound national and sub-national evidence-based policy, to effective planning and service delivery, and to the monitoring and evaluation of performance by service providers and development projects and programmes.

Sample design
The sample for the SHDS was designed to provide estimates of key indicators for the country as a whole, for each of the eighteen pre-war geographical regions, which are the country’s first-level administrative divisions, as well as separately for urban, rural and nomadic areas. With the exception of Banadir region, which is considered fully urban, each region was stratified into urban, rural and nomadic areas, yielding a total of 55 sampling strata. All three strata of Lower Shabelle and Middle Juba regions, as well as the rural and nomadic strata of Bay region, were completely excluded from the survey due to security reasons. A final total of 47 sampling strata formed the sampling frame.
