To support health and nutrition program design and implementation, adequate nutrition and food surveys need to ensure that basic and vital needs of the population are well-identified and responded to. Based on the findings of these initial assessments, programs will be implemented taking into account key considerations such as demographic data, access to local markets, culturally appropriate food, and vulnerable populations with special needs. As risks of malnutrition and disease heighten in refugee and migrant settings, targeting needs is essential to saving lives.
