The findings of this survey revealed the following issues. The prevalence of acute malnutrition based on weight-for-height z-scores was 12.1 % of them classified as global acute malnutrition (GAM), and 1.1 % of children were severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The prevalence of acute malnutrition based on MUAC was 0.9 % had severe wasting, and 7.5 % had moderate wasting.
