Food insecurity and malnutrition among children are common in Nepal. Continuous monitoring of nutrition indicators, such as underweight among children less than 5 years of age, is essential for tracking the progress of the country in achieving the MDG targets (specifically MDG1: the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger).
Nepal is a signatory to the United Nations Millennium Declaration and its eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Continuous monitoring of nutrition indicators, such as underweight among children less than 5 years of age, is essential for tracking the progress of the country in achieving the MDG targets (specifically MDG1: the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger). To address this issue, the World Food Programme (WFP) and Helen Keller International (HKI) have taken the joint initiative to include nutrition information as part of the Nepal Food Security Monitoring System (NeKSAP).

The monitoring mechanism assessing the impacts of the food, fuel and financial (3F) crisis on children's education in Nepal is facilitated by RIDA1 with support from UNICEF and in coordination with the Department of Education, District Education Offices, and schools. Monitoring takes place at three levels.
