    Abstract
    This dataset contains results from the 2023 Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) conducted in the Markazi refugee settlement, Djibouti. Data were collected from 9 July to 11 August 2023 using an exhaustive sampling approach, following SENS v3 methodology. Modules include demography, anthropometry, anaemia, health, infant and young child feeding (IYCF), food security, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and COVID-19 vaccination. The dataset covers children aged 6–59 months, women of reproductive age (15–49), and all households in the camp. Data collection was conducted via mobile devices using ODK and analyzed using ENA for SMART and Epi Info.
