VICTOIRE SUR LA MALNUTRITION PLUS (ViMPlus) RAPPORT DU RECENSEMENT DES MÉNAGES ET DE LEURS MEMBRES

The initiative is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is implemented by ACDI/VOCA. The ViMPlus report on household and member recensus was prepared by ACDI/VOCA under the Victory Against Malnutrition Plus Activity. The report is based on a recensus of households and their members conducted in September 2020. The recensus aimed to gather data on the structure of the population and households, as well as their means of existence and food security. The recensus was conducted in two parts: the first part involved the preparation of the recensus, including the establishment of a technical committee, the development of a recensus protocol, and the training of field personnel. The second part involved the actual recensus of households and their members, which included the collection of data on household composition, means of existence, food security, and other relevant variables. The data collected during the recensus indicate that the majority of households in the study area are headed by men, and that the average household size is around 5-6 members. The majority of households rely on agriculture as their primary means of existence, and most households have access to a plot of land for farming. However, the data also indicate that many households face challenges related to food security, including limited access to food and water, and high levels of malnutrition. The recensus also collected data on household assets, including livestock, tools, and other equipment. The data indicate that many households have limited access to these assets, which can make it difficult for them to engage in productive activities and improve their food security. In terms of food security, the data indicate that many households face challenges related to access to food and water. The majority of households reported that they have limited access to food, and that they often have to rely on external sources of food, such as markets or food aid. The data also indicate that many households have limited access to clean water, which can make it difficult for them to maintain good hygiene and prevent the spread of waterborne diseases. The recensus also collected data on household income and expenditure. The data indicate that many households have limited income, and that they often have to rely on external sources of income, such as remittances or cash transfers. The data also indicate that many households have limited access to financial services, which can make it difficult for them to manage their finances and improve their food security. In terms of health, the data indicate that many households face challenges related to access to healthcare services. The majority of households reported that they have limited access to healthcare services, and that they often have to rely on traditional or informal healthcare providers. The data also indicate that many households have limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities, which can make it difficult for them to maintain good hygiene and prevent the spread of waterborne diseases. The recensus also collected data on household migration and shocks. The data indicate that many households have experienced migration, including internal migration, and that many households have experienced shocks, including conflict and natural disasters. The data also indicate that many households have limited access to social protection programs, which can make it difficult for them to cope with these shocks and improve their food security. Overall, the data collected during the recensus indicate that many households in the study area face significant challenges related to food security, health, and livelihoods. The data also indicate that many households have limited access to assets, income, and financial services, which can make it difficult for them to improve their food security and livelihoods.
