Abstract:
For the last two decades in Ethiopia, ending malnutrition has been a national government priority.
The government of Ethiopia recognizes that high quality and timely data are needed to identify the
magnitude of malnutrition and to assess the impact of evidence-based interventions. To contribute
to these efforts, the Ethiopian National Information Platform for Nutrition (NIPN), hosted by the
Ethiopian Public Health Institute, supports evidence-based decision making through the analysis of
existing data and communicating the findings to policy and decision makers. Identifying existing
nutrition data sources and determining their accessibility for further analysis and decision making,
are NIPN priorities
