11 years agoGreetings,
I am currently looking for tools/methodologies that could be used by nutrition teams to identify drivers of malnutrition in both humanitarian and protracted/development contexts.
I found this post quite pertinent and i was wondering if there was any update in the discussions held since 2013? I am familiar with ACF's work on the Link NCA methodology but would be interested in knowing if a listing/review/analysis of existing methodologies has been done.
Thank you for the support

5 years agoHello,
as far as I know, a good quantity of recent nutrition causal analyses have been conducted according to the Link NCA methodology. Currently, it may be the most field-oriented methodology available and has recently been upgraded, reinforcing its qualitative and quantitative data analyses. For example, the introduction of bivariate or multivariate analyses in the quantitative phase of the Link NCA helps to highlight plausible relationships between different contributing factors and outline potential pathways for wasting and stunting separately - which was not possible with the previous version of the methodology.
You can access a library of guidelines and tools on a dedicated website www.linknca.org. I would recommend contacting Link NCA Technical Advisor at ACF-F HQ as she can help to adapt the methodology to suit your needs. The methodology was originally designed for rural, homogeneous settings, but has been successfully tested for urban and volatile post conflict settings, trans border operations as well as refugee camps.
While an existing body of Link NCA studies was independently reviewed some 18 months ago, I am not aware of a comparative analysis of existing causal analysis methodologies.
Hope this helps,
Lenka
