Standardised Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) - 2023

This dataset presents findings from the 2023 Standardized Expanded Nutrition Survey (SENS) conducted at the Alemwach refugee site in Ethiopia’s Amhara region. Established in 2020, Alemwach hosts Eritrean refugees relocated from northern Tigray due to conflict. The survey, led by UNHCR and RRS in collaboration with government and partner organizations, aimed to assess the health, nutrition, food security, and WASH conditions of the refugee population. Using the SENS Version 3 (2018) and SMART methodology, data were collected through face-to-face interviews with households selected via simple random sampling. As of December 1, 2023, Alemwach hosted 21,557 individuals, including 1,940 children under five (9% of the population). The anonymized dataset supports evidence-based planning and targeted interventions to address the essential needs of refugees residing in Alemwach.
