Summary

The main objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a livestock management intervention, with considerations for animal food security, water contamination from animals, and nutrition counseling, in reducing the risk of acute malnutrition among children under the age of 5 years in Kanem and Bahr El Ghazel (BeG) in Chad.

Testing water

Using existing secondary data available on the research communities as well as qualitative inquiry, we will purposefully select 40 water sources for the water analysis across from the communities selected for the implementation research (up to 30 communities with a maximum of 5 water sources per community). The selection of water sources will be stratified by type of water sourceand near the route for long-term animal migration. For each water source, we will aim to have a water sample collected at all water sources twice a day (morning and later afternoon) once a week for four weeks, varying the day of the week. Thus, we will collect a total of 320 water samples in the course of four weeks at the end of the dry season before the rains start.
