It will consolidate historical data on SAM and MAM burden estimates, programme targets—including those from HACs and HNRPs—and key programme monitoring indicators, such as admissions, programme performance, routine screening and service coverage. Together, these data will enable more systematic analysis of needs, targets, reach, coverage and programme performance over time and across countries and contexts.
