Abstract
The UNHCR Standardized Expanded Nutrition Surveys (SENS) provide regular nutrition data that plays a key role in delivering effective and timely interventions to ensure good nutritional outcomes among populations affected by forced displacement. This survey was conducted in Bahn, PTP and Little Wlebo camps, which are located in Maryland, Grand Gedeh and Nimba counties lying along the border of Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire. The three camps were hosting close to 29,000 Ivorian refugees including approximately 5,000 children aged below five years. The survey, which was organized by UNHCR in close collaboration with World Food Programme (WFP), UN Childrens Fund (UNICEF), CARE, African Humanitarian Action (AHA) and Country Health Teams / Ministry of Health and Social Welfare of the Republic of Liberia, was conducted from 7th April to 2nd May 2015. This was the third SENS to be conducted in the camps since the Ivorian refugee emergency in 2010 in Liberia; the first was in 2012 and the second in 2013.
