Abstract	This survey was conducted in Oromia region of Kuni woreda in the West Hararghe zone by Goal Ethiopia among selected clusters of household children aged 6 and 59 months. The objective of this survey was to estimate the prevalence of acute and chronic malnutrition, examine the current health status of the survey population by considering mortality and morbidity rates and child vitamin A supplementation and vaccination status, and to assess the food security situation among children aged 6 to 59 months. The findings of this survey revealed the following issues. The prevalence of acute malnutrition based on weight-for-height z-scores was 6.1 % of them classified as global acute malnutrition (GAM), and 0.1 % of children were severe acute malnutrition (SAM). The crude mortality rate and under-five mortality rates were estimated at 0.21 and 0.49 deaths/10,000/day, respectively. About 18.2 % of the children suffered from diarrhea, 1.2 % from cough, and 0.4 % from fever. The percentage of children vaccinated against measles by card, BCG by scar, and who received vitamin A in the last 6 months were 39.4 %, 29.0 %, and 49.2 % of the respondents respectively. In regard to food security Over the past four weeks, the current main foods consumed were maize (67.7% of HHs) and sorghum (24.7%). There was no significant change as compared to a normal year. Nearly two percent of them replied that their livestock was in poor condition, while the remaining 98.1% mentioned their livestock was in good/v. good condition due to good pasture and water availability. Nearly twenty-four of the households had access to potable water while the remaining sourced water from an unprotected source.
