La malnutrition demeure un problème majeur de santé publique à Madagascar et constitue un frein important
au développement humain et socio-économique du pays. Malgré les efforts entrepris par le Gouvernement et
les partenaires techniques et financiers, les indicateurs nutritionnels restent préoccupants dans plusieurs
régions, avec des disparités importantes selon les zones géographiques.
Afin de mieux comprendre les déterminants de la malnutrition et d’orienter les interventions de manière plus
efficace, le Gouvernement de Madagascar, à travers l’INSTAT, le SNUT et l’ONN, souhaite conduire une analyse
approfondie des données issues des dernières enquêtes SMART ainsi que de l’enquête MICS.
Cette analyse vise à identifier les principaux facteurs de risque associés à la malnutrition dans les six
arrondissements de la ville d’Antananarivo ainsi que dans d’autres zones du pays, selon la disponibilité des
données (SMART 2026, MICS et SMART Antananarivo 2025). Les résultats permettront de hiérarchiser les
facteurs explicatifs de la malnutrition, d’évaluer leur contribution relative et de proposer des recommandations
opérationnelles adaptées au contexte spécifique de chaque zone.
Par ailleurs, cette étude contribuera au renforcement des capacités nationales en matière d’analyse
nutritionnelle et épidémiologique grâce à un transfert de compétences au profit des équipes gouvernementales,
notamment celles de l’INSTAT, du SNUT et de l’ONN, afin de favoriser l’appropriation des méthodes et la
pérennisation des analyses futures.
Dans ce cadre, il est prévu de recruter un(e) consultant(e) spécialisé(e) en nutrition et analyse épidémiologique
afin d’apporter un appui technique à la réalisation de cette étude.
