Nutrition Status of Internally Displaced People in Kachin and Northern Shan State

A mix study of quantitative and qualitative was conducted for KMSS in Kachin and Northern Shan States in Jan-May 2019. In this study, MKM had to survey in 12 IDP (Internally Displaced People due to conflicts) camps in government control areas (GCA) as well as non government control areas (NGCA) in Kachin and Northern Shan States. A total of 900 IPD households were interviewed with a prepared questionnaire. And, a KII was also conducted in each IDP camp with camp leaders. MKM created and used 4 tools in this study; HH questionnaire, questionnaire for caregivers/mothers of under five children, questionnaire for pregnant and lactating women and KII guide for camp leaders. The study covered many topics relating to nutrition, water and sanitation, immunization coverage, home gardening practices, receipt of food/cash assistance, breastfeeding practices, complementary food feeding practice and household food security.  Target respondents were mothers/caregivers of under five children, pregnant women, household heads and camp leaders.
