Abstract

In Burkina Faso, the malnutrition rate remains high according to the results of the various nutritional surveys carried out throughout the country since 2009. The children’s nutritional state is characterized by an endemic malnutrition and the 2012 food crisis has led into an exacerbation of the acute malnutrition that mostly affects the children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate children less than five years with acute malnutrition in poor households affected by the 2012 food crisis in Sanmatenga province of Burkina Faso. The study conducted was retrospective based on the analysis of identified data of 4755 beneficiary poor households on a food security and livelihoods project that Non-Governmental Office (NGO) Save the Children International had implemented in Sanmatenga province in 2013 in response to the food crisis. The study showed that children under five in these poor households were severely affected by malnutrition. The global acute malnutrition rate according to mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) was 8.1% CI95 [7.6 – 8.6]. That high prevalence showed an important deterioration of the nutritional and food situation in these households following the food crisis. The results of the statistical analyzes revealed that the parent’s place of residence, the household’s size, the number of under five children and the household’s poverty have a statistically significant negative impact on the malnutrition prevalence of 6 to 59 months old children in the poor households in Burkina Faso.
