WHO-UNICEF Nutrition Monitoring TEAM Report Summary

Introduction: The Technical Expert Advisory Group on Nutrition Monitoring (TEAM) was established by WHO and UNICEF in July 2015 to advise on enhancing global nutrition monitoring efforts. Key purposes include improving data quality, developing harmonized standards and tools, sharing learning, and identifying emerging research questions to be communicated to appropriate partners.

Meeting Summary (February 2016): The February 2016 meeting with partners reviewed the TEAM's workplan and collected inputs on nutrition monitoring priorities. Partners emphasized the need for operational guidelines for WHA nutrition targets, data quality improvements for anthropometry, mapping of monitoring activities, and addressing gaps in areas like diet quality and small area estimates. Six major work areas were prioritized: WHA nutrition targets operational guidelines, rules for on-track/off-track assessment, public health significance of malnutrition, anthropometry data quality, research priorities, and coordination with other partners.

Key Priorities Identified by Partners:

• Develop operational guidelines for implementing core WHA indicators and routine data use.
• Improve anthropometry data collection methods, quality control, and validation systems.
• Map global nutrition monitoring efforts to foster collaboration and avoid duplication.
• Address research needs, including diet quality indicators, small area estimates, and data harmonization in humanitarian contexts.
• Engage with other organizations for cross-sectoral issues like agriculture and WASH.

Modalities for Partner Engagement: Partners can participate through priority input, working groups, collaborative research, and dissemination of TEAM outputs, such as mapping community efforts and supporting grassroots understanding.

Next Steps: The TEAM will revise its workplan based on partner feedback, prepare operational guidance and research papers, and invite partners to join working groups for ongoing activities.
