Terms of Reference for Nutrition in Emergency Nigeria Information Management TWG

Several surveys and surveillance activities are currently taking place in North East Nigeria (NE Nigeria) to monitor the evolution of nutrition and health indicators among displaced and host communities in North East Nigeria.  Throughout the conflict many areas in NE Nigeria have not been accessible.  As more Local Government Area’s (LGA’s) are now becoming accessible there is expected to be a significant increase in the number of surveys and surveillance activities being conducted in NE Nigeria.  As a result, it is of paramount importance that the NE Nigeria IMTWG is functioning at a high capacity in order to provide sufficient oversight of the Nutrition Information System (NIS) consisting of surveys and surveillance activities that will help to ensure that high quality information is being collected and disseminated in a timely fashion by the Nutrition Sector.
