37 most used indicators in the logical framework of nutrition proposals
Of the most difficult sectors to develop donor proposal for
is the nutrition. After developing so many successful nutrition proposals that
were accepted by donors and implemented these projects successfully with many Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGOs) both in the development and humanitarian sectors, we recommend
selecting your nutrition proposal indicators and filling the logical framework
more confidently from the following 37 most used indicators:
|
# Of boys and girls 6-59 months screened for Mid-Upper Arm
Circumference (MUAC) by the trained volunteers for acute malnutrition. |

Malnutrition (MAM) cured. |

|
|
% Of households aware of the
complaint and feedback mechanism. |
|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
% Of facilities with a stock out
of therapeutic supplies for at least 24 hours. |
|
|
|
% Of women with children aged 0-23
months aware of the available breastfeeding counseling services |
|
|
|
% Of children born in the last 12
months who were put to the breast within one hour of birth. |
|
|
|
% Of infants of less than 6 months
of age who received only breast milk during the previous day and night |
|
|
|
% Of women of reproductive age
(15-49 years) who know how to effectively address at least 4 out of 6 most
common breastfeeding difficulties. |
|
|
|
% Of women of reproductive age (15
– 49 years) aware of at least four promoted ways to prevent breast milk
insufficiency. |
|
|
|
% Of children aged 6 - 59 months
with a weight for age < –2 Z-scores. |
|
|
|
% Of children aged 6 - 59 months
with a height for age < -2 Z scores. |
|
|
|
% Of women of reproductive age
with a MUAC < 210mm. |
|
|
|
% Of children aged 6–59 months
with a MUAC < 125mm (and/or bilateral oedema). |
|
|
|
% Of children aged 6-59 months
with a weight for height < –2 Z scores (and/or bilateral oedema). |
|

All international donors such as USAID, DFID/UKAID, ECHO and United Nations agencies such as UNICEF, WHO, UNOCHA, and the international NGOs such as Oxfam, Save the Children, CARE International, and others are using these indicators and approve the proposals that contain such indicators as the best indicators used to measure nutrition interventions. This is because these indicators are reflecting the common humanitarian standards and the Sphere Minimum Standards for nutrition interventions.
Understanding the Nutrition terms
as they are needed during drafting the nutrition proposals:
Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC):
is the circumference of the left upper arm, measured at the mid-point between
the tip of the shoulder and the tip of the elbow. It is measured with
the arm hanging straight down, wrap a MUAC tape around the arm at the midpoint mark.
Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM):
is defined by a very low weight for height (below -3z scores of the median WHO
growth standards), or by a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) <11.5cm by
visible severe wasting, or by the presence of nutritional oedema.
Moderate
Acute Malnutrition (MAM):
is
defined by moderate
wasting with a weight-for-height indicator between WFH -3 - <-2 Z score
of the International Minimum Standard or by a mid-upper arm circumference
(MUAC) between 11.5 cm and 12.5 cm.
Outpatient Therapeutic Program
(OTP): This is a type of management of mal-nutrition
that is provided at the primary health care facilities which brings the
services for management of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) closer to the
community by making services available at decentralized treatment points,
through the use of ready-to-use therapeutic foods, community outreach by
Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) that conduct home visits and conduct MUAC
screening for Under-five children and for pregnant and lactating women and
refer them to the nearest OTP.
