The Data Sources for IPC Acute Malnutrition Analyses serves as a practical guide to help IPC analysts identify the most suitable and reliable data for classifying Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) in IPC analyses. It outlines a step-by-step process for assessing the quality, timeliness, and compatibility of available GAM data—such as from SMART surveys, nutrition surveillance systems, and MUAC screenings—against IPC protocols. By systematically evaluating each source through this decision tree, analysts can ensure that the selected data meets the standards for evidence-based classification, ultimately supporting more accurate, credible, and timely IPC AMN analysis and decision-making.
