Coverage of measles vaccination (%)
 
Measles coverage refers to the percentage of
children who have received at least one dose of
measles-containing vaccine in a given year. This
indicator is used for estimating the vaccine
coverage of the total EPI strategy. To avoid
overestimation, measles vaccination coverage is
often used as a proxy since it is usually lower than
DPT3 coverage.

be differentiated by age/sex
 
This could include relevant information on disasters is available and
accessible at all levels, to all stakeholders (through networks,
development of information sharing system. ii. School curricula,
education material and relevant trainings include risk reduction and
recovery concepts and practices. iii. Research methods and tools for
multi risk assessments and cost benefit analysis are developed and
strengthened. iv. Country wide public awareness strategy exists to
stimulate a culture of disaster resilience, with outreach to urban and

This indicator aims to gather
disaggregated data on number

Safe water is defined as water that: (1) comes from

Proportion of 
households (female and male
headed households) with 
capacity to
prepare food safely (fuel, water, cooking
utensils, food)
 
 
Percentage of households that have
changed intra-household food
distribution
 
Assessing the impact of the crisis on food
distribution patterns inside the HHs (both female
and male headed households). The change can
occur in several ways and have several degrees of
severity: i.e. adults restrict consumption for
children to eat, women do not eat to give food
only to men (as they work) etc.
 
Number of functional basic health
units/10,000 population
 
Proxy indicator of geographical accessibility,
and gender balance in staff 
(adequate
representation of women and men) in
availability of health facilities across
different administrative units

Global acute malnutrition
 
Prevalence rate (%) of global acute
malnutrition in children 6 to 59 months of
age based on presence of bilateral pitting
oedema and / or weight-for-height z-score
less than -2 standard deviations of the
median of the standard population
(WHO 2006)
 
 
Proportion of 
households (both female and
male headed households) where food is
safely stored, prepared and 
consumed
 
Safe food practice involves three main precautions: (1)
clean all surfaces in contact with food: wash hands before
food preparation and eating, wash cooking and eating
utensils, (2) use safe ingredients: use safe water and
foodstuffs, wash fresh foods to be eaten raw, (3) store food
safely: protect from flies, separate raw and uncooked
foods, avoid storing leftovers or cooking a long time before
eating.
 
Global acute malnutrition
 
Prevalence rate (%) of global acute
malnutrition in children 6 to 59 months of
age based on presence of bilateral pitting
oedema and / or weight-for-height z-score
less than -2 standard deviations of the
median of the standard population
(WHO 2006)
 
 
Proportion of pregnant women, children
under five and other vulnerable people
sleeping under effective insecticide-treated
mosquito nets
 
Insecticide-treated nets are nets for hanging over sleeping
places, treated with an insecticide that repels, disables and
kills mosquitoes coming into contact with them.
Conventionally treated nets are effective if they have been
retreated correctly within the last six months (or the last
yea the case of some chemicals), not washed more than
three times since the last treatment and without holes or
tears.
 
Proportion of 
households (Female and
male headed households) with 
appropriate
water treatment supplies and equipment
 
Water-treatment supplies and equipment includes
chemicals for flocculation and disinfection, filter systems
and equipment and fuel for boiling. Equipment and
supplies are appropriate where they are already known by
the population concerned or where they are simple
enough for the people concerned to use them safely and
effectively with the instructions provided

This content highlights the prevalence rates of acute malnutrition, severe acute malnutrition (SAM), moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), childhood stunting, acute malnutrition based on MUAC and edema, and acute malnutrition in pregnant and lactating women. The data is based on various criteria such as weight-for-height z-score, height-for-age z-score, MUAC measurements, and more, providing insights into the nutritional status of children and women globally.
